The floating city on the coast of the Republic of China was filled with smoke and undercurrents from various warlords, chambers of commerce, and old families.
Once the scholarly Shen family was overthrown, Shen Wanshu, in order to save the clan members, got married to Lu Chengxiao, a young marshal who held a heavy army and suffered a sea of blood.
On their wedding night, they lived in separate rooms, and everyone in the handsome family treated each other coldly. She was helpless and had only the skills of restoring ancient books passed down from her ancestors to keep her company.
She originally just wanted to live a stable life and repair old books to make ends meet, but among the damaged documents and incomplete ancient maps, she unexpectedly got a glimpse of the Lu family's conspiracy to seize power and the secrets of collusion with the enemy.
The third uncle of the Lu family colluded with the hostile chamber of commerce, intending to murder Lu Chengxiao, stirring up turmoil in the city, and pushing Shen Wanshu to death countless times.
At first, the two just cooperated to get what they needed: she provided clues to the truth, and he protected her and the Shen family's safety.
Going through dangerous situations together, solving conspiracies together, and accompanying each other in life and death several times, the cold contract marriage gradually breeds deep affection.
Everyone thought she was a dodder who was dependent on the young commander, but they didn't know that all the turmoil in the floating city was caused by her hands that were not skilled in writing books.
She does not rely on medical skills or business warfare, but only relies on a scrap of paper to stand in troubled times, heal each other's wounds, and work together to maintain peace.
