Jiang Ying, the eldest princess of the southern state of Chen, has assisted her younger brother in ascending the throne since she was fifteen. For ten diligent years, she has never dared to slack off, even repeatedly postponing her wedding. Yet one month before the ceremony, her own brother betrays her, sending her to the northern state of Ye as a dancer in the Northern Prince's estate, to strengthen ties between the two nations. When Jiang Ying wakes, she has become Xiao He, a dancer in the Northern Prince's estate. She hears that the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty has died of an illness, and that the emperor of Chen is overcome with grief as the whole nation mourns. She has been “declared dead” and lost her family, identity, power, wealth... everything. To return to Chen, Jiang Ying endures humiliation and does everything she can to win the favor of Northern Prince Xie Zhen. Xie Zhen has guarded the border for years and survived countless assassination attempts. He never shows his true face, and a troop of masked personal guards is always at his side. They watch as the songstress sent from Chen tries every means to please his stand-in. Xie Zhen: Is this songstress a little slow? Much later, Jiang Ying escapes back to Chen, and peace talks between the two nations resume. He meets the legendary eldest princess of Great Chen, who has supposedly “come back to life,” and is stunned to realize she is the very same Xiao He, the dancer who once lived at his estate. Xie Zhen: I thought I was just teasing an idiot, but it turns out I'm the real idiot! Theme: Building water conservancy works for the country and its people
