Li Man, a country girl, was sold into the Prime Minister's Mansion as a maid. However, because of her striking resemblance to the face of the legitimate daughter who died suddenly in the prime minister's palace, she was forced to marry him instead and got into the sedan chair heading to the third prince's palace.
Everyone in the capital knew that the third prince Xiao Yi, whose mother and concubine died young, was displeased by his father and unloved by his elder brother, had been a drug addict since he was a child. A master once declared that he would not live past the age of twenty-five.
On their wedding night, she tried her best to maintain dignity for fear of revealing her secret; he continued to play the role of a gentle and seriously ill prince, concealing his wild and unruly nature.
[Family theater after marriage]:
Xiao Yi: "The princess is so capable!"
Li Man thought: (With your little money, you can hardly afford to hire servants. If you don't make money, we will starve to death together!)
Xiao Yi: "The princess is so virtuous!"
Li Man thought: (I've eaten so much today that I can't finish the soup. I'll give the rest to the prince.)
Xiao Yi: "The princess is so beautiful!"
Li Man thought: (This is true.)
[Chaotang Machiavellian Small Theater]:
Xiao Yi: "Princess, the Prime Minister is harming me!" "Princess, the emperor is harming me!" "Princess, the emperor is harming me too!"
Li Man thought in his heart: (You should take it easy, they are hurting you so much that he is about to lose his country!)
Intention: Hard work will lead to success!
