Zhu Sheng'an, heir to the Southeastern Prince, was exceptionally clever and famous from a young age. He was known throughout the southeastern fiefdom as the "Little Detective." In his more than twenty years of being admired by all, he had failed only once: the Xunshan case, when he missed the best opportunity to catch the culprit.

Letting the culprit slip through his fingers and back into the world became an obsession he could never let go of.

Years later, by chance, Zhu Sheng'an took on a mission to suppress bandits and arrived at Lazi Mountain in Danzhou. There, in the bandits' lair, he encountered Quelan, who had been abducted while disguised as a bride. The clues Quelan held pointed to the culprit in the Xunshan case, who had been missing for years.

To prove his sincerity to Quelan and coax the clues out of him, Zhu Sheng'an married him and brought him home.

But after many twists and turns and sharing countless hardships, Zhu Sheng'an grew used to having someone by his side through thick and thin, and no longer wanted to let him go.
