The Shen family in the capital, a scholarly family with a history of hundreds of years, happened to raise a "waste" young master - Shen Moyan.
He fights cocks and lackeys, hangs out in Flower Street, and is the most famous dandy in the capital. Qiu Tang, his personal maid, cleans up his mess every day and gets scolded and beaten, but she secretly hides the policy articles he wrote in the middle of the night. No one knew that under the pillow of that ridiculous young master was a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" filled with annotations; no one knew that Qiu Tang was once the orphan of a guilty minister, and she put all her hopes of revenge on him for her family's blood feud.
Once Enke was defeated, Shen Moyan scored three yuan in a row, and the Golden Palace's countermeasures shocked everyone, and the Holy Master personally awarded him the number one scholar.
The whole court was in civil and military uproar, and those who had ridiculed in the past stepped on the threshold of the Shen family one after another. But what Qiu Tang was waiting for was not the glory of becoming a mistress, but a piece of paper selling herself and a heavy bag of silver——
"You're free, let's go."
He drove her out of Shen's Mansion, but risked his life in the middle of the night to rescue her enemy who had been hiding for ten years; she went to the frontier to work as the humblest clerk in the army, but she didn't know that the clever plan to turn the tide of the war came from a secret secretly handed over by the No. 1 Scholar.
One pretends to be a dandy, the other pretends to be submissive. Ten years of undercurrents, who will expose whose disguise first?
"The young master said that I was a maid, but he didn't know - I guarded him, and it was never because of the contract of sale."
This is a story about disguise, protection and two-way running. When the red robe of the number one scholar shone through Chang'an, he finally dared to admit that the greatest achievement in his life was not to be crowned the winner, but to marry that girl home in a dignified manner.
