[Reborn from birth + Sweet romance + Soap opera drama + Angsty love + Ensemble cast + Childhood sweethearts]
Shen Zhiyi, Princess of Yongning Commandery, and Shen Yun, the Yun Gege, also known as Xiao Yanzi:
One is a general's daughter, treasured and pampered.
The other is the daughter of a vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, spirited as the wind.
They have open-minded parents, an Emperor Father who fiercely protects his own, a biased Empress Dowager, and a group of childhood friends they've known since they were little.
While others are still learning court etiquette, they've already dragged the emperor out on a secret inspection tour and set off to travel the realm disguised as members of a merchant caravan.
Along the way, they punish corrupt officials and solve cases, supporting one another through danger as affection quietly grows amid their teasing and laughter.
They thought they were setting out on a carefree adventure through the martial world, but instead found themselves in one chaotic situation after another.
Yet as the young people grew up, with imperial power, family rank, and the unseen “force of the plot” standing in their way, they came to understand that the hardest case in the world to solve is love, and the hardest predicament to escape is being unable to control one's own fate.
