[Upright, Clever Noblewoman x Spirited Young Prince]
With her mother dead young and her father demoted, Ji Ciyin travels alone to the capital to seek refuge with her aunt.
The Duke of Ying's household holds all the power and commits every kind of evil. After Ji Ciyin outsmarts them several times, she has already offended the Crown Prince behind it all.

Sima Jue was born to noble blood. He is the emperor's beloved son, and a thorn in the side of both the empress and the Crown Prince.
