[A skilled, strong-willed Yao girl × A lovestruck, clingy Imperial Censor]
Lu Tingchao transmigrates to the Great Yan dynasty and, from the start, finds herself the Lu family's adopted daughter, who tried to run away from an arranged marriage and then attempted suicide.
To her surprise, the wedding date has been moved up. Having only just transmigrated, Lu Tingchao is struck like a bolt from the blue: "..."
Lu Tingchao decides to run away from the wedding that very night!
On the night she tries to flee, a screen lights up before her eyes, displaying a Book of Answers.
Lu Tingchao is devastated: Other people transmigrate with a System and a golden finger, but she gets stuck with a lousy book?!

Xu Yize comes to Qingzhou to investigate an old case. Caught in a sudden downpour, he takes shelter in a City God temple and rescues a young lady in distress.
To stay alive, Lu Tingchao shamelessly sticks to Xu Yize.
Lu Tingchao cries until her eyes are swimming with tears. "Young master, my family is poor, and I was kidnapped by villains. I have nowhere to go. Please take me in."
Xu Yize looks at the gold glittering in her bundle. "..."
Does she think he's blind?
Lu Tingchao cries even harder. "My parents sold me to an elderly wealthy merchant to be his concubine. Can you really bear to see that happen, young master?"
Xu Yize quietly watches Lu Tingchao put on her act, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Once in Qingzhou, Lu Tingchao makes a name for herself, founding the Women's Reflection Pavilion to help women understand what they truly want.
She interprets the Book of Answers with kindness to help women, hires female workers, and lets them establish branch pavilions.
Xu Yize is drawn to Lu Tingchao's unconventional ideas and turns into a clingy, coquettish puppy at her side.
Lu Tingchao's business thrives, and she becomes the richest person in the land.
Xu Yize gets his wish and marries Lu Tingchao.
