Yan Hemiao is the only daughter in her family. Her grandfather has three sons, and her father is the second-born. She is the only girl in the family and is adored from the moment she is born. She has two older brothers.
Yan Hemiao has been exceptionally bright since childhood. By the time she was a little over a year old, her vocabulary was astonishing. Her brothers were always by her side, no matter what she did, and the household servants made sure she had whatever she wanted to eat. She was never a spoiled princess. Until she turned eight, she was the happiest girl in the world and believed she would always be happy.
Then disaster struck. Her father had served as an honest, upright official for over twenty years, yet was inexplicably demoted. Investigate! She would gather every shred of evidence. Her older brother passed the civil service exams, only to have his achievement stolen. Investigate! Her grandmother was poisoned at home. Investigate! She wanted to find out whose interests had been threatened.
Though she had been cherished and pampered since childhood, anyone who crossed her bottom line, her family, would see just how ruthless she could be. But while investigating, she unexpectedly got entangled with Rong Yihuai, a prince from a friendly foreign kingdom. Fine, he could stay, since he seemed capable enough.
But why does this man seem to have feelings for her...?
