Power struggles and revenge | Mutual probing | Sweet everyday moments

When the Minister of Revenue, serving as governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, found his long-lost young daughter, Sun Jiqi, he brought her home.

Consort Zhuang held a flower-viewing banquet to choose a bride for the Seventh Prince. Among all the noble young ladies present, she took a special liking to Sun Jiqi.

The others wondered what good it did to have Consort Zhuang's favor, until the Seventh Prince placed the only jade scepter into her hands.

Wasn't she just pretty? What made her so special?

No one knew that long before their first meeting, they had already traveled a long road together.

When she was five, the Sun family was massacred after stumbling upon a secret of the Marquis of Anping's household. Only Xiao Qi, who had no household registration, managed to escape.

To uncover the truth, she willingly sold herself and went to the capital. With her intelligence and courage, she earned the trust of the Marquis of Anping's household and was trained as a spy. She infiltrated the Marquis of Wu'an's household, entered the palace through a selection of palace women, and became one of the people serving the Seventh Prince, Zhao Shuheng.

Over the years, Xiao Qi passed on both true and false information while repeatedly protecting him in secret. Zhao Shuheng tested her even as he sank deeper and deeper into his feelings.

After so many tests, who would be the first to give their heart?

Once everything was settled, Xiao Qi began to wonder what her purpose in life really was.

So she left the capital and returned to Jiangnan, where she discovered a whole new world. Zhao Shuheng, who had let her leave so freely, couldn't find peace. He repeatedly went south on official business, until at last the imperial edict arrived, transferring the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Xiao Qi and Zhao Shuheng joined forces in the power struggles. In the end, they reached the heart of power and opened the door for women to enter government service.
