Everyone bet that the bride Jiang Mian would be divorced soon after marrying into the Duke's palace. She made a one-year contract with the crown prince Lin Xiangyi. On their wedding night, the two discovered each other's identities. Jiang Mian was a ruthless woman bent on revenge, while Lin Xiangyi was the late emperor's orphan who had endured for many years. Jiang Mian reorganized his inner house and sought justice, while Lin Xiangyi secretly plotted in the name of henpecking. The enemy set up a trap to harm Jiang Mian, and Lin Xiangyi sacrificed his life to save him. The two had a deep love for each other. At the palace banquet, they joined forces to smash the concubine's conspiracy and put down the chaos in the court. Faced with the throne, Lin Xiangyi resolutely refused and took Jiang Mian into seclusion. At first, they both lost their bets, and the two stayed with their daughter for the rest of their lives.
