Liang Lingsu was the daughter of the imperial family. Her biological mother died young, and her stepmother and concubine arranged to sell her into the most secretive gold-selling cave in the capital, the "Zuihuan Tower", claiming that she had "eluded and lost her virginity". The old madam in the building wanted to train her to become the number one and offer her to the powerful.
When she woke up, she found that she was tied to the couch, and in front of her was a customer who had been ordered to "inspect the goods" - the handsome man who had a bowl of soup thrown at her on the street three days ago. The man recognized her, but did not expose her. Instead, he accused Zuihuanlou of "robbing officials and their families" and led his troops to seal the building directly.
This man's name is Jiang Yunfeng. On the surface, he is the most inattentive dandy in the capital, but in fact he is in charge of the emperor's personal guard, the "Xuanlin Guards." The day he was thrown soup by her on the street, he had found out her identity and situation, and had been waiting for her to be caught - to be precise, he was waiting for her to fall into his hands.
He saves her, but with a condition: Liang Lingsu must pretend to be his "personal maid" and enter the Marquis's mansion for three months to block the marriage offer from the Queen Mother.
Liang Lingsu agreed. After entering the Marquis's mansion, I discovered that the Marquis was a loose man on the surface, but secretly he was on the verge of being poisoned and assassinated every day. And she was forced to be tied to him, warding off disasters, testing poisons, and acting for him again and again - every time she thought she was going to die, but Jiang Yunfeng would always take action at the last moment, turning the situation around ferociously.
The two of them lived together on the edge of a knife, and they were also ambiguous between life and death.
But the case investigated by Jiang Yunfeng was related to an old case fifteen years ago - precisely related to the death of Liang Lingsu's biological mother. And when he first approached her, was it a coincidence or a calculation?
