During the Jinghe period of Daliang Dynasty, Jiang Yushu, a cousin of the Taifu Mansion, had three major hobbies in her life: sleeping, being in a daze, and basking in the sun. The noble lady in the capital laughed at her for her lack of talent and virtue, but she didn't take it seriously - it wasn't that she couldn't fight, but that she was too lazy to fight.
Until the imperial edict for selecting a concubine came down, she was pushed to the forefront by her stepmother's design. At the concubine selection banquet, he was publicly humiliated by the imperial concubine and was about to be dismissed. Chu Shiyan, the eldest son of Zhenguo Palace, known as the "cold-faced King of Hell", suddenly said: "I think this girl is very good." Everyone was shocked.
After entering the palace to be selected, strange things happened one after another: a concubine was poisoned, a prince was assassinated, a fire broke out in the imperial study... Jiang Yushu was forced to "accidentally" reveal his skills again and again - rejuvenating with mastery, cracking mechanisms, and uncovering conspiracies. As the vests were revealed one by one: the heir of Yaowang Valley, the owner of Moying Tower, the heir to Tianji Pavilion, and the granddaughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, the "cold-faced King of Hell" behind her also went from shock to relief to distress.
When all the clues pointed to the same man behind the scenes - the most trusted regent in the Holy Emperor, the couple went from being secretly in love to fighting side by side, and jointly uncovered the unjust case of family extermination that had been sealed for twenty years. In the end, one refused to have a different surname, and the other refused to be crowned princess, all they wanted was "to be together for the rest of their lives."
This is the story of a girl who "wanted to lie down but was forced to become a hero" and a cold-faced prince who "had a secret love for ten years and finally got married", running in both directions in the whirlpool of power and intrigue. Sweetness and abuse intertwined, full of pleasure.
