[First marriage, then love; later, he chases his wife to the crematorium]
Su Xiaoyun knows that everyone thinks she married above her station, and even the entire Li family mocks her: "That young master actually married a poor Daoist nun."
On their wedding night, they agreed to keep their distance and laid down three rules.
For a long time after the wedding, they lived their separate lives with mutual respect. Su Xiaoyun kept to her place and never crossed any boundaries.

After Li Miao easily earned the top spot in the imperial exams, the emperor assigned him to serve as a companion to the crown prince.
He devoted himself to becoming chancellor and securing the throne for the crown prince. He had planned to "invoke the Mandate of Heaven" to persuade the emperor to name the crown prince as heir, but never expected to find himself a wife along the way.
Long after their wedding, he had yet to set foot in the rear courtyard.
Day after day, he went head-to-head with others at court, growing mentally and physically exhausted. Then the emperor asked if he still remembered the girl who used to tug at his sleeve and run off with him.
Li Miao had never thought himself capable of love, yet that night he tossed and turned because of a petite figure. For the first time, someone seemed so mysterious that he was desperate to figure her out.
