Targeted by a corrupt official because of her beauty, Song Zhi, in order to survive, carries a flowerpot to the capital to 'fake a marriage', spreading rumors everywhere about the Duke, who wheezes every three steps and is said to be 'not long for this world': 'The abbot said that as long as I can marry the Duke to bring him luck through marriage, we will have two children in three years, and the Duke will surely live to a hundred years old', 'I am the person on the tip of the Duke's heart; he even said he could give me his life.' Before long, Song Zhi is caught in the act of spreading rumors and pinned to a desk by the Duke: 'I hear you are my sweetheart.' Song Zhi trembles: 'Well, um, let me explain.' The Duke smiles darkly: 'I hear you also want my life.' Song Zhi breaks down and closes her eyes: 'Ying.'
