The Emperor and the Chief Councilor are arguing again!
The Chief Councilor has locked the Emperor up again!
The Emperor fell and hit her head while climbing out the window, and now her life hangs by a thread...
*
Inside the imperial palace, the cool and proud Chief Councilor Pei Xuandi kneels before the dragon bed, distraught. He clutches the woman's hand and begs humbly, "Yinyin, I won't argue with you again. Please, wake up..."

The moment Yu Qianyin opens her eyes, she has traveled back fourteen years. While being hunted, she's rescued by a wild boy from the mountains.
The wild boy washes his face, and Yu Qianyin takes one look at him and flies into a rage. She pounces on him, scratching and clawing. "Damn you, Pei Xuandi! You argued with Us! You locked Us up! You liked your first love more than Us!"
Pei Xuandi frowns and lifts the unreasonable, filthy little troublemaker. Ignoring her shrieks and protests, he strips off her clothes and tosses her into a water barrel.
Yu Qianyin trembles with fury: "You dare take off Our clothes? We'll cut off your head and wipe out your entire clan!"

Pei Xuandi, who grew up in the mountains, learns for the first time that there is an animal in this world called a girl.
Girls are delicate, soft, and good-for-nothing. They can't hunt or cook, expect food and clothes to be handed to them, never stop chattering at him, and roll their eyes at him at the slightest provocation.
Pei Xuandi expressionlessly surveys the wolf, tiger, and black bear pelts on the wall, thinking: One day, I'll hang her up there too.
But as he raises her, he grows attached. He carries her in his arms or on his back all the time, gives her the best food and drink, and never hits back or talks back when she insults him.
Until one day, she leaves him a letter saying she has a throne to inherit, then vanishes from his life.
When they meet again, she is the supreme Empress, but she has forgotten him. He, meanwhile, schemes and spills blood to climb to the position of Chief Councilor in just three years, wielding power over the realm and inspiring fear in everyone.
He resents her for abandoning and forgetting him, and secretly eats away at her imperial authority as revenge.
One early summer day, with the begonias in full bloom, the enchanting Empress calls him over, eyes full of warmth and voice shy: "My dear councilor, are you married?"
Pei Xuandi looks at her coolly, his voice icy: "I already have someone in my heart. Your Majesty should show some restraint."
More or less a cheerful story about a male lead raising a child, with just a little wife-chasing-to-the-crematorium.
When they first meet, the heroine is five and the hero is twelve. When they part, she is sixteen and he is twenty-three. When they meet again, she is nineteen and he is twenty-six.
