When Song Jinruo learns that her father intends to marry her off to a spoiled young heir, she picks a dark and stormy night, packs her valuables, and climbs over the wall to escape the wedding. But as soon as she jumps down, she tumbles straight into the arms of the person waiting beneath the wall.
Lin Zhiyan calmly looks at the beauty who has fallen from the sky, talks her into returning home, and hands her a marriage contract.
One is the neglected eldest daughter of the Grand Court of Sacrificial Worship. The other is a promising young court official, secretly loved by more than half the young women in the imperial capital.
Song Jinruo says she is devoted to business and has already decided never to marry. She would never let herself be confined to a tiny back courtyard for anyone.
Lin Zhiyan says, "That's perfect. I need a principal wife to serve as a cover. No feelings involved, just someone to reassure His Majesty and keep outsiders from getting in my way."
So, with a contract in hand, the two become husband and wife.
After the wedding, Lin Zhiyan rises step by step through the court, helping the emperor and solving the people's problems. Meanwhile, Song Jinruo uses her identity as Lin Zhiyan's wife to make more money in business and give more to charity, becoming a living God of Wealth in the eyes of the people.
On their wedding night, Lin Zhiyan gazes at Song Jinruo, sleeping soundly on the bed, and gently takes her hand. "Jin'er, I finally married you in this life."
