To secure peace along the border, the Great Liang Kingdom of Zhongzhou demands a marriage alliance with the legitimate princess of a small border vassal state.
When they hear they're to marry the Great Liang emperor, who is already sixty, the real princesses either run away or curse him out. In the end, they send a newly ennobled fake princess instead.
But the fake princess, Jiang Shoushou, is forced into the marriage only to be rejected by the old emperor for being "ugly."
So she's sent to the prince's residence and "happily" married off to Shen Yiyun, the emperor's ninth son.
And just like that, a stepmother becomes a bride in the blink of an eye.
Well, isn't that a stroke of luck!
After the wedding, Jiang Shoushou is quite content with her days spent playing mahjong, shopping, and enjoying drinks.
The only problem is her strange husband, whose moods are impossible to predict.
Jiang Shoushou thinks that if the melon isn't sweet, she shouldn't force it.
Shen Yiyun, however, thinks this crooked melon of a wife is deliciously sweet.
Jiang Shoushou then thinks that since they don't suit each other in looks or feelings, they might as well part ways and each find their own happiness.
Shen Yiyun: Oh? But it wasn't until I met you that I learned what happiness is.
*Both are virgins. The male lead has a legal wife in name only; the two are purely business partners.
Theme: Stay optimistic no matter when or where you are.
Double c, double c, double c, carrying a loudspeaker and shouting! The male protagonist is an innocent boy! The male protagonist and Fujin just have a purely cooperative relationship! Fujin had her own sweetheart and he died too! Everything will be written clearly later! (I didn't want to spoil the story, but I didn't know there were comments that said it was disgusting, so I can only explain it here.)
Fujin? Is it from the Qing Dynasty?

Also, come on, I'm watching you!!! After having sex all night long, the sisters are ready to watch!
Sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, the ending is beautiful, the lovers will finally get married!
Alas, in the fight for the throne, there are no real brothers in the royal family. They all plot and exploit each other.
