The tyrant Xiao Lin suffers from a strange illness that no medicine can cure. His ministers find a low-ranking palace maid to bring him good luck through marriage.
During the days when he lies unconscious, Fu Zhizhi chatters in his ear every day about trivial, boring things.
Xiao Lin thinks that if he ever wakes up, the first thing he'll do is cut down this noisy little maid who doesn't know her place.
But after Xiao Lin wakes from his illness, he develops a strange new condition.
If he gets more than ten paces away from Fu Zhizhi, his heart aches terribly and his body grows weak.
So people begin to see a little tail following the tyrant around.
When he attends court, the maid fans him from behind.
When he reviews memorials, the maid grinds ink beside him.
Even when he bathes and sleeps... the maid has to stay by his side without leaving.
One day, Fu Zhizhi runs outside the hall after picking up the prime minister's lost tablet.
In the grand throne hall, the tyrant on the Dragon Throne turns pale and clutches his heart, nearly fainting.
"Fu Zhizhi, stop right there! Who said you could go chasing after another man!"
Everyone is stunned: The tyrant really is madly in love with that little maid!
Xiao Lin: ... I'm just having chest pain, thanks.

Fu Zhizhi has a secret.
Someone once deliberately pushed her into the water, and a young man stepped forward and saved her life.
From that moment on, she decided that the tyrant seated in the grand throne hall, cursed by the whole world, was the peerless hero in her heart.
#To everyone else, you're a stubborn stone, but in my hands, you're a precious jade. #
