The Su siblings are caught in the whirlpool of the imperial capital.
Su Qingyan, an ordinary woman, single-handedly keeps the tottering Su family afloat, escaping one desperate situation after another.
Everyone in the city is convinced she possesses some mysterious power and has unfathomable methods.
Only Su Changgeng knows the truth.
Every coincidence that turns danger into safety and disaster into good fortune is the result of his quiet manipulations of fate from behind the scenes.
To the world, he is the Yong'an Imperial Capital’s laughingstock: an idle playboy who spends his days eating, drinking, and having fun, walking his bird and browsing the night markets without a care in the world.
In secret, he quietly neutralizes one assassination plot and conspiracy after another.
His sister gets all the credit, while every crisis and blame is heaped on her, too.
Former subordinates mistake her for their revered master, extraordinary beings watch her closely, and the powerful scheme against her at every turn.
The whole world goes wild imagining the moves on the chessboard, yet no one looks twice at the playboy lounging around and watching the show.
The siblings protect each other: one bears the storms out in the open, while the other calms the turmoil from behind the scenes.
