In her previous life, Princess Ji Rufan of Yu was about to marry a young general in a grand wedding when she was kidnapped by bandits. Not only did she suffer endless torment and humiliation, she also discovered that her fiance had long been plotting a rebellion. Reborn, she not only escapes the villains' clutches, but also finds her father a new son-in-law who is wealthy and capable.

Chu Zhiyao, the grandson of a wealthy merchant, is mocked by everyone as a fool. In his previous life, his fiancee's lover ambushed him and injured his brain, turning him into a puppet who was made to "guard someone else's fortune." In this life, Chu Zhiyao decides to get ahead of things by pretending to be a fool and playing along with their scheme until he can take revenge. But fools are lucky, too: he happens to find a princess as beautiful as a heavenly maiden along the way.

Their marriage begins as a contract, with each seeking something from the other and keeping their own intentions secret. But as they spend day after day together, they fall for each other, and after fighting their enemies side by side, they pledge themselves to each other for life.

Chu Zhiyao (panicking): "Who are you? What do you mean, grabbing me and not letting me leave?"

Ji Rufan (calmly): "I want to marry you. I want to become your wife."

Everyone (astonished): "Do heavenly beauties these days like marrying fools?"

Much, much later...

Ji Rufan and Chu Zhiyao (holding back sweet smiles): "You wouldn't understand."

[Reading Guide]

1. For reasons related to Chu Zhiyao's background, he was raised as a girl disguised as a boy. The princess knows the truth. Please avoid this story if you can't accept that.

2. There won't be much detail about their bitter, tragic previous lives. The story is lighthearted, full of sweetness, and focused on romance and doting.

3. This is an alternate world, full of melodrama, with no clearly identifiable dynasty or set of ceremonial customs. Readers who value historical accuracy should proceed with caution.

4. One-on-one romance, happy ending. Anti-piracy measures are in place.
