Chi Xiaoman, a country girl, has a face almost identical to the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household. To get the money to save a loved one, she assumes the Prime Minister’s daughter’s identity and marries Gu Ci, the reigning dynasty’s top-scoring scholar.
Passing herself off as a noblewoman is fraught with difficulty: rumors, hostile elders, and schemes from the Prime Minister’s household come one after another.
She thought their engagement was nothing more than a transaction, but Gu Ci gives her special treatment at every turn and always stands up for her.
Even when the real daughter returns to the household, he remains steadfast: “The only woman I will ever call my wife is Chi Xiaoman.”
From then on, the couple steers clear of the schemes and intrigues of the inner household, content to live a peaceful life together through the seasons and ordinary days.
Through all the storms and upheavals, they have the warmth of home to share, and she can always rely on him.
Content warning: No melodramatic misunderstandings or angst, no rivalry between women, and no transmigration, rebirth, or golden finger. The story focuses on the leads falling in love after marriage and building a quiet, stable life together.
