Gu Qingran, an agricultural sciences student, was born into a novel about power struggles called Marrying the Emperor as the male lead's expendable cousin. In this ancient world, full of danger and utterly devoid of human rights, all she wants is to lie flat and live an uneventful life. She absolutely refuses to use the modern knowledge in her head to disrupt the status quo. She keeps her secret identity under wraps and immerses herself in ancient life. She even finds herself a spirited young man and gets engaged to him. But she never expected the deranged male lead to lock her away.
Crown Prince Li Jingyan has known since childhood that he would marry Gu Qingran when he grew up. But after Gu Qingran comes of age, his mother tells him that she and another man love each other, and asks him to let her go.
Let her go? What a joke.
