Shen Huaizhi was raised by Xie Shiyan of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing when he was young. He studied classics and classics, and was carefully cultivated and secretly favored by him. The ascetic gentleman is arrogant and cold towards only one person, while the smart girl is wanton and coquettish towards only one person. The etiquette in front of others is strict, but behind the scenes, she indulges him freely. She dares to flirt with him and pampers him, but he never hides his premeditated preference. Everyone in the world wants me to abide by etiquette, dress appropriately, and pursue a future, but I prefer to break the rules, go beyond the rules, and abandon glitz for you. There are thousands of rules in the world, but they are not even half as good as your appearance. All the exceptions and failures in my life are only for you.
The Shen family was implicated in the turmoil in the court and was demoted to Lingnan. The local clans took the opportunity to gang up on corruption and encroach on the Shen family's property. Shen Huaizhi, who had been fostered in the capital since childhood and raised by Xie Shiyan, returned to his hometown to support his family alone. With the help hidden in the secret letter, he fought against the clan's conspiracy step by step. Xie Shiyan, a Beijing official with a bright future, was willing to ask for a transfer from the wilderness and went to her side to silently reveal the truth. The two complemented each other openly and secretly, achieving mutual success. Shen Huaizhi used his wisdom to break the situation and stabilize people's livelihood and consolidate the foundation. When the two returned to the capital, disputes over old marriage contracts and conflicts between the court and noble families ensued. In order to protect her, Xie Shiyan destroyed the shackles of her official career and broke away from the secular etiquette. The two abandoned their ties and stood side by side. She used her wisdom to set the direction and make a living. He used his strength to overcome the storm and lay the foundation, assist the new policy, eliminate the long-standing shortcomings, and stayed with each other in the ups and downs of the court, and together they kept the peace of the family and the country.
Intention: Stay together for half your life and build peace together
