On her way home after working a double shift, Xia Niannian was killed by a bandit's knife. When she opened her eyes, she had arrived in Dongdu. Her father was a gambler, and her mother spent all day lying in bed.
One day, while demanding payment for medicinal herbs from a customer who'd refused to pay, a gold ingot suddenly fell from the sky and knocked out the man who had been getting handsy with her.
Xia Niannian gratefully glanced at her kind benefactor. Zhao Chengxuan's face was exactly like that of the man she'd had a crush on for three years.
Later, through a series of coincidences, she became a maid in Prince Gong's residence, then Zhao Chengxuan's concubine. Just as she thought she had fallen deep into love, she suddenly discovered it had all been a dream, a deception in which they had both lied to each other.
Xia Niannian gave up. She'd take the breakup money and part on good terms!
Everyone said that Zhao Chengxuan, the playboy heir of Prince Gong's residence, had a beloved concubine he couldn't forget. She loved him to the bone, and on the eve of Zhao Chengxuan's marriage by imperial decree to the Duke of Ying's legitimate daughter, the concubine was so distraught that she accidentally knocked over a candle and died.
The carefree young lord was devastated. On his wedding day, he ran away from home and never returned!
Just as Zhao Chengxuan thought he would spend the rest of his life in a daze, that little concubine appeared before him alive and well. This time, he would never let her down. He would win her back, even if it took his whole life!
