Shen Lechu, the daughter of an imperial physician, pretended to be a fool in the palace for eighteen years. Pretending to be stupid was taught by my father. "There are eyes everywhere in the palace, and those who are too smart will not live long."
But Judge Shen spent his whole life pretending to be stupid, and the Shen family still couldn't survive. Overnight, Shen Yuanjing was secretly executed, and more than a hundred people in the Shen family "died violently from the epidemic." Shen Lechu sneaked out that night to buy sugar and roasted chestnuts. When he came back, the Shen family was already in flames.
She blackened her face, cut her hair short, and hid among the beggars in the West Market to escape. Later, the first person she met was Jiang Yijing, the Ninth Prince who was recognized by the entire court as a good-for-nothing.
Everyone said that the Ninth Prince could not hold up the wall with mud, and he was a drunken dogfighting cockfighter all day long. Only Shen Lechu knew that there was a thick layer of calluses at the base of the Ninth Prince's palms, which was created by sword practice. He had been pretending to be a loser for ten years, and he had been pretending to be a fool with her for eighteen years, but they turned out to be the same person.
An orphaned imperial doctor and a useless prince teamed up to investigate old cases. Shen Lechu discovered that his father was killed not because of poor medical skills, but because he diagnosed Concubine Shu's biggest secret, which was to confuse the royal bloodline by giving birth to a child through insemination. And deeper still lies the old hatred of her biological mother who was poisoned twenty years ago.
During the investigation, her shell of pretending to be stupid was broken bit by bit by Jiang Yijing. He taught her one thing: Shen Lechu didn't have to pretend in front of Jiang Yijing.
Later, Shen's Medical Clinic opened in western Beijing. The plaque was written by Jiang Yijing and the inscription was the title of his reign after he ascended the throne.
A smart person spends his whole life pretending to be stupid, just to wait for someone to see through her.
Intention: Under the mask, there is still a sincere heart
