Wang Ruyi was originally the companion of Zhou Qi, the fifth son of the Duke of Zhou. He was born quiet and thin, only 165cm tall, with a delicate appearance and a soft voice. A sudden turn of fate occurred. Yunru, the only surviving cousin of Duke Zhou, unfortunately contracted smallpox and died on her way to Zhou's mansion after her father's death. Zhou Qi actually asked Wang Ruyi to dress up as a woman and take on Yun Ru's identity. From then on, Wang Ruyi began to live as a cousin in Zhou Guogong's mansion.
A year later, the situation changed again, and Zhou Qi arranged for Wang Ruyi to disguise herself as a man and go to Jinling Tianlan Academy with him to study in the name of her cousin Yunsheng. During the four years in the academy, Wang Ruyi followed Zhou Qi's instructions and deliberately showed her girlish appearance from time to time, causing everyone to speculate on her true gender. After the academy life ended, Wang Ruyi returned to the Duke's mansion and resumed his cousin's "old business".
Two years later, the red thread of fate was involved again. Wang Ruyi, as Yunru, married Fan Xu, a classmate of Tianlan Academy and a beauty scout of Jinke. From reading as a companion, to being a cousin, to studying disguised as a man, and finally becoming a wife, Wang Ruyi's life is like a fantasy, full of twists and turns and helplessness within the framework of feudal ethics. How will she find her own world among these multiple identities?
Concept: Wang Ruyi keeps changing her gender identity, seemingly driven by others, but in fact, in the process, her self-awareness gradually awakens. Through men disguising themselves as women and women disguising themselves as men, they break the rigid definitions and restrictions of gender in the feudal era, experience completely different lives with different identities, and then explore their true self-worth and life direction, showing individuals' pursuit of self-identity in difficult situations.
