Gu Huaijin transmigrates into a book, taking the place of a frail scholar. When he opens his eyes, he is at his own wedding, held to bring good fortune to a sick man.

Gu Huaijin hates this kind of feudal arranged marriage. But then he sees the breathtakingly beautiful young husband beside him, Lu Zhao. More importantly, Lu Zhao is a licentiate.

Gu Huaijin decides that maybe he can live with this after all.

The Great Yu Kingdom's imperial examinations do not bar women or ger, but in the villages, families can barely afford to educate a son, let alone a ger.

Lu Peng, Lu Zhao's father, thought differently. After Lu Zhao's mother died when he was young, Lu Peng struggled to put him through his studies until he passed the licentiate exam. Everyone mocked him for it.

Not long after Lu Zhao became a licentiate, Lu Peng remarried. Then Lu Peng died.

Poor Lu Zhao could no longer continue his studies. Marriage and children were all that awaited him, and he grew increasingly sensitive.

After refusing his stepmother's plan to sell him as a concubine to a wealthy old landlord in town, he was forced into a wedding sedan bound for the Gu household, where he was to bring good fortune to a sick man.

He had heard that Gu Huaijin was cursed to bring death to his family, had no ambition, and spent his days frequenting brothels and gambling dens.

When Lu Zhao faced Gu Huaijin, believing he would soon be widowed, he looked at him as if he were already a widower.

But as they spent more time together, Lu Zhao realized that the man was nothing like the rumors.

Gu Huaijin, whom the villagers said was cursed to bring death to his family, takes Lu Zhao and separates from his awful grandmother and aunt. They work hard day and night, starting with a street stall and eventually opening a grand restaurant.

Their household grows from two people to three.
