Ye Jin'an is the clever and bold legitimate daughter of a general's household, while Xiao Jinghuan is a cold and distant regent.
When they were children, Ye Jin'an accidentally rescued Xiao Jinghuan. It was a romantic encounter that should have begun a beautiful love story, but the two never crossed paths again.
Then, in a sudden turn of events, the General who Guards the Nation attempted to assassinate the Empress Dowager at a royal banquet. His entire household was exiled, and Ye Jin'an escaped in the chaos.
As she set out to find help beyond the city, her fiance Gu Fang betrayed her. A wastrel harassed her, forcing her to jump off a cliff, and she was ultimately rescued by Xiao Jinghuan.
Ye Jin'an was injured and lost her memory. To keep her in the Prince Regent's residence while she recovered, Xiao Jinghuan falsely claimed that Ye Jin'an was his fiancee.
After learning the truth, Ye Jin'an didn't leave right away. Instead, she sat intimately at the same table as Xiao Jinghuan and took his hand. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know you love me. I won't leave you."
Watching the usually unflappable regent look briefly astonished, Ye Jin'an gazed at Xiao Jinghuan with eager anticipation. "Your Highness, why haven't you started investigating my father's wrongful conviction? What if they refuse to let us marry later?"
One was protecting the other as a favor to a friend, while the other was pretending to have lost her memory so she could clear her father's name.
With different agendas but a shared plan, the two eagerly played the part of devoted fiances.
Xiao Jinghuan: The Prince Regent's residence could use a lady of the house. Help me fend off all those lovesick women.
Ye Jin'an: In exchange, please help clear my father's name.
Who would have thought their act would turn into real love?
