Gu Shaotang, the Grand Secretary, holds power over the entire court, yet is naturally detached and abstains from women.
Unexpectedly, one day, Lord Gu brings home a beautiful female Taoist priest and intends to marry her.
The woman is peerlessly beautiful, and everyone who sees her can't help lamenting:
Such a beauty has fallen into the hands of Gu Shaotang, that monk of a man. What a waste!
Yet after their wedding, rumors gradually spread through the capital that Madam Gu was being doted on like a queen.
Someone in the know also revealed that Prime Minister Gu had recently taken up keeping a diary:
* Baiweizhai has a new pastry, and Madam loves it. But it's too sweet, so I mustn't indulge her.
* Madam gets tipsy after one cup. She looks so soft and lovely when drunk, a sight no outsider should see.
Everyone: ... Tsk.
So this is what you're really like, Prime Minister Gu!
* A reserved on the outside, flirtatious on the inside, refined Grand Secretary x a sweet, alluring, naive wife
* Fatherly husband, age gap, lighthearted and angst-free post-marriage fluff
