Jiyu was born among common folk and has a naturally crafty streak. The thing she loves most in life is money. Unfortunately, her father spends lavishly, and after all these years, the family still hasn't saved enough to buy an official post. Her fiance looks down on her, too, and on their wedding day elopes with the daughter of a high-ranking official.
When the impoverished young woman reaches the end of her rope, a royal heir lends her a hand. He offers her an official position and money, on the condition that she go with him to Lizhou to root out traitors for the country.
Jiyu is overjoyed and happily follows Huo Chengjin thousands of miles away. Only then does she discover what an enormous lie this is.
The emperor is gravely ill, and his sons are fighting for the throne. Somehow, an obscure nobody like her becomes a key figure in the struggle for power.
Jiyu feels wronged. Jiyu wants to run away. At first, all she really wanted was to make money.
Prince Huai, Huo Chengjin, teaches her honesty and love, only to thrust her into the most painful whirlpool of fate.
When they meet again, love and understanding have become open hostility. The elegant gentleman finally tears off his mask and reveals his true nature, binding Jiyu in chains and forcing her into marriage.
On their wedding day, Jiyu sits upright on the bridal bed and produces a pledge bearing his handprint.
"'If I break this promise, may I be struck down by blade and axe.'" Gritting her teeth and holding back tears, she says every word slowly. "Huo Chengjin, I'll be waiting for the day blade and axe come down on you!"
Everyone says Jiyu has bewitched Huo Chengjin. Who could guess that he was the one who couldn't let go of her from the very beginning?
