Female Lead | Su Wanli
An independent modern woman who accidentally transmigrates to the Great Jing Dynasty and becomes the timid legitimate eldest daughter of the Su family, who is constantly bullied.
Calm and rational, clear-eyed and easygoing, with an independent outlook, she sees through the schemes and dirty tricks within the household and wants only to live in peace and protect herself.
Her soul from another world gives her a sense of detachment. She neither curries favor with the powerful nor plays the helpless innocent. When trouble arises, she remains composed and patient. She seems cool and gentle on the outside, but is resilient and strong-willed within.
She has no intention of provoking anyone, but her distinctive bearing unexpectedly catches the eye of a cold, powerful nobleman, becoming the one exception he cares about and thinks of at every turn.
Male Lead | Lu Shiyan
The Marquis of Dingbei in the Great Jing Dynasty, with power over the court. Cold and aloof by nature, decisive and ruthless, he holds a high position but is indifferent to others. Cool and ascetic, he has never been moved by a woman.
His presence is sharp and distant. Cold and taciturn, he sees through the world's hypocrisy and indifference, caring nothing for anything around him.
When he encounters Su Wanli, who has transmigrated, in the mountains behind his estate, he is deeply captivated by her out-of-place gaze and calm, guarded manner. He takes a keen interest in her at first sight.
He appears cool and restrained, but is in truth intensely possessive. He watches over her in secret and draws closer step by step, obsessive yet devoted, making an exception and giving his heart to her alone.
