It writes about the experience of a girl named Ni Tong surviving in a troubled world.
Ni Tong is not a lady in the traditional sense. She is arrogant, does not know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her hobby is to hit people with cakes. He Junyou is not really a gentleman. He is hypocritical and selfish, and makes money by deceiving the emperor. The two have some similarities in personality, to the point where they kind of hate each other.
Later, when war broke out, Ni Tong stayed in the capital to seek his own glory and wealth, while He Junyou followed Hunjun to seek refuge and gained thousands of family properties. The two no longer hated each other so much, or in other words, they no longer hated the somewhat morally tainted themselves. In the end, Concubine Heng and the Queen (their sisters respectively) took power together, and people's livelihood was restored, allowing them to live a good life for a while. In order to wash away the stain of being a liar, He Junyou decided to join the army, and Ni Tong got his wish and became a wealthy businessman. A few years later, the two will meet again.
