Bai Yusheng had become the 27th head of the Bai family, with immeasurable wealth and deep-rooted power.

It features a top-tier, deeply affectionate young nobleman as the male lead and a qipao shop owner as the female lead. The male lead has secretly loved the female lead for 10 years, but she is unaware. They got together 4 years ago, but were forced to break up due to some misunderstandings. The female lead almost committed suicide by jumping into a river, but was saved by her godmother. The male lead then starts pursuing her again, showering her with flirtatious remarks and smooth talk. They eventually resolve their misunderstandings and get back together. Includes a hilarious excerpt: "I'll laugh so hard I'll die!" In this confined space, she was forcefully controlled by him. Suddenly, he released her, his eyes darkening, "Do you want your husband to..." "The great river flows eastward, the stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper!" The vulgar words that Pei Gongzi was about to utter were interrupted by the rough singing suddenly playing from Xiao Yu's phone. Xu Nanyin calmed her racing heart, watching his sexy Adam's apple bob slightly, and asked again, "Do you want your husband to..." "Cui Guo! Smash his mouth!" Xiao Yu, sitting in front of the dressing table, switched the video. "Your Majesty, I must accuse my brother-in-law of having an affair with Imperial Physician Wen!" "Hahaha..." Xiaoyu burst into laughter, clutching her phone. Behind the door, Young Master Pei, interrupted once again, turned ashen-faced. The atmosphere of passion and infatuation vanished completely! Seeing his angry yet mocking smile, Xu Nanyin buried her head, suppressing her laughter.
