Ji Yunqian pretends to be the daughter of a second wife living under someone else's roof.
It was not an accident that the original owner fell into the water. There was an undercurrent in the house. Aunt Chen looked kind on her face, but in her heart she felt that the three sisters were a drag. She watched calmly, secretly planning a way out.
When she stayed at her grandmother's house in Lingling County, she learned the art of making incense, improved rouge and lipstick, and opened a shop in partnership with her cousin Zeng Ji. As the business gradually picked up, she also discovered that there was another reason behind her uncle's "tea business" - Kuang Yanche, a young man who often came to the shop, whose father was an accomplice of her uncle.
After her eldest sister got married, she followed her father to Prince Ning's Mansion in Gyeongju. The palace guard Zuo Huaian was actually the young man she had met in Lingling. She continued to run her business and learned how to protect herself. Because of her clear-mindedness, she was adopted by the princess as her adopted daughter.
Later, three kings and five kings rebelled, and King Ning sought victory in danger. She secretly helped with Xiangzhuang's connections, Zuo Huaian charged into the battle, and Kuang Yanche used trade routes to transport supplies. After the chaos was over, King Ning succeeded to the throne, and she was granted the title of princess.
After being granted the title of princess, Yan Che expressed his feelings for many years, but she did not respond. Lan Yuchu, the fifth son of the prime minister, fell in love with her at first sight. The queen persuaded her to try to get along with her, but she felt suffocated by the strict rules and voluntarily quit.
She went to the Western Regions on the pretext of looking for strange fragrances, and met Zuo Huai'an's army on the way. The sky was full of wind and sand, sharing life and death, she finally touched the free love that she had never felt before.
After Zuo Huaian returned to the court after fulfilling her father's ambition, her perfume and cosmetics business had spread all over the trade routes of the Western Regions.
She finally understood: the real destination is not to be someone's princess, but to walk freely on her own road.
She walked through the deep house, walked through the court, walked through the wind and sand of the Western Region——
Only the fragrance remains the same.
Concept: Fragrance is not only her craft, but also her character. In this life, Yun Qian relied on his hands to make a living and built his world on his heart. From being an orphan, to becoming a princess, to going to the Western Regions - her identity is changing, but her sobriety of "relying on herself" has never changed. It's not like she doesn't have a chance to be attached. Yan Che's secret love and Lan Yuchu's love are both possible paths. But she tried it, suffered the pain, and finally chose to quit. Because what she wants is not to be loved, but to be loved freely.
