Princess Zhao Lingzhao of Jinzhi Yong'an in the Deep Palace was born into imperial power and wealth, but she was unwilling to be trapped within the red wall and cared about the common people in the world. Shen Yanheng, a poor family official, bears the grievances of his family and hides in hiding, devoted to investigating old cases of water transportation corruption, vowing to clear the grievances of his father's generation and bring justice to the people of Jiangnan.
There is an undercurrent in the court. Prince Ning covets the financial rights of water transportation and weaves a web of corruption. The two meet by chance because of an old case. Rumors wrapped around the shackles of the ethical family, censure in the palace, impeachment in the court, and assassinations in the dense forest followed one after another. The two people with very different identities watched each other and secretly expressed their feelings to each other in the life and death disasters.
Traveling thousands of miles south to the south of the Yangtze River, they abandoned the palace honors and went deep into the muddy countryside to rectify water transportation and purge officials. They faced the ruthless plans of local powerful people and witnessed the suffering of the people in the world of fireworks. Their feelings became stronger as they worked side by side. After returning to Beijing, the obstruction of the clan nobles and the counterattack of the remnants of the old party pushed the marriage to the forefront.
Even though there are palace walls, great barriers, and power struggles, they fight against secular prejudice with sincerity and protect the people of their country and country with their original intentions. In the turbulent court situation, they stay with each other and devote themselves to each other.
