The fifth daughter of the Jiang family and the third son of the Xie family are of similar age, so they are forced together as a pair. Before the wedding, Jiang Yunzhi overhears the third son of the Xie family complaining to someone that she’s fat, round-faced, dull, and boring. The little girl who loves meat is heartbroken. After sixteen years of following the rules, she does the first outrageous thing in her life: she runs away from her wedding. By a twist of fate, a temple takes her in. After going for days without meat, Jiang Yunzhi runs to the back hill to cry. A young lay Buddhist passing by kindly takes her down the mountain for a good meal. As time passes, she and the lay Buddhist grow closer. One day, after she accidentally eats a poisonous mushroom, she mistakes him for a chicken leg in her delirium and bites him again and again. When she comes to, she is so ashamed that she flees down the mountain. Her family catches her just in time and drags her back to marry the third son of the Xie family... * The Xie and Jiang families have agreed to an alliance.

He was sent to the temple at a young age to cultivate himself in seclusion. Just as he was about to see through the illusions of the mortal world, a young girl ruined his cultivation. Knowing his cultivation is beyond saving, Xie Qingyan returns to the Xie family to clean up his nephew’s runaway-bride mess. But when he lifts the wedding veil, he lets out a cold laugh. “What a coincidence, benefactress…” * The third son of the Xie family, who successfully ran away from his wedding, returns home to find a lovely young woman there. Fair as snow, with doe-like eyes and a face like a peach blossom, she is truly beautiful.
