Ji Sheng has a father who is a Grand Academician, a mother from a wealthy Jiangnan merchant family, a princess best friend doted on by the emperor, and a childhood friend who is a prince known as the "Virtuous Prince."

The trouble is, none of those four are simply people she can rely on.
Being the daughter of a Grand Academician means she has to act like a proper young lady in every word and deed. Her mother, a formidable woman from a merchant family, has had her handling all sorts of affairs since she could walk. Her ambitious best friend drags her into plans to become empress, while her seemingly gentle childhood friend wants to make her his empress...
One cannot keep four oceans in balance with a single bowl of water, so Miss Ji chooses to have them all.
