Twenty years after the founding of Daye, the emperor had a whim and wanted to compile a book. This job fell to two people: Zheng Ruzhang, the young minister of Dali Temple, the legitimate son of the prime minister, whose stern face could scare a three-year-old child to tears; Lin Yan, editor of the Hanlin Academy, who appeared to be an old scholar and kept such a low profile that no one in the court could remember what he looked like.
The happiest person is not the emperor, but Meng Qisu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War and Zheng Ruzhang's "baby relative" fiancée. The two of them had been fighting each other since childhood, and she had even dreamed of calling off the marriage. Now the opportunity has come: as long as Zheng Ruzhang fails to complete the task and the emperor becomes angry, won't the engagement be ruined? Meng Qisu packed his bags overnight and followed happily, preparing to "add trouble and trouble" to Zheng Ruzhang.
Zheng Ruzhang looked at the "follower" behind him who couldn't get rid of him, and his teeth itched with anger. What's even more troublesome is that I picked up Lin Yan's "peach blossom" along the way - the weak little white flower Yu Zhiyi. She was saved by Lin Yan when she was a child. She wanted to repay her kindness. This time she finally took the opportunity and followed her softly.
The four of them got together. Zheng Ruzhang and Meng Qisu had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. Lin Yan had a headache and Yu Zhiyi covered his mouth and laughed. But the strange thing is that wherever you go, strange things will happen, and there are unsolved cases one after another, and they are all quite evil.
Meng Qisu originally wanted to cause trouble, but he was busy solving the case and forgot to cause trouble. Zheng Ruzhang originally wanted to be quiet, but in the end he was busy rescuing people and forgot to drive them away. In the quarrel, he risked his life to protect her; in the quarrel, she felt sorry for him. The two fell in love while solving unsolved cases, and they also uncovered a shady web of buying and selling officials between the DPRK and China.
In the end, the book was compiled, the case was solved, and the engagement was not canceled because neither of them wanted to quit.
