The appearance of prosperity is full of undercurrents. Under the prosperity of the dynasty, there is all decay and devastation. Ning Youci was adopted by the former Taifu who was framed by the powerful and resigned since she was a child. Her husband's careful guidance made her have a burning heart to serve the country.
In order to support the country, she followed the emperor's third son, Hengyuan King Gu Lian, and transformed into a smart female staff to assist him. She thought they were like-minded, but in the whirlpool of power, Gu Lian gradually lost her true heart and used any means to achieve her goals, which ran counter to the justice she insisted on. The fierce collision of ideas caused the two to go their separate ways. Gu Lian even launched a ruthless murder, trying to get rid of him quickly. Ning Youci narrowly escaped death and almost died.
When his life was hanging by a thread, fortunately, his neighbor's daughter risked her life to save him. But the bad luck did not let her go. Unfounded charges were imposed on her. The neighbor's aunt and her family were also implicated, and they died innocently.

This man's heart is as deep as the ocean, and he would give up everything for the sake of the people. The road ahead is full of thorns. Should we work together or fall into a deeper maelstrom of intrigue? This strategic battle about justice and the common people has quietly begun...
