Chen Xizhen, the true daughter of the Minister of Personnel's household, initially believes that her ancestor has answered her prayers, granting her the status of a noble lady and a happy marriage. However, the overwhelming wealth and opportunities her ancestor goes to great lengths to send her keep slipping through her fingers. She thinks she is communicating with a deceased ancestor, unaware that this ancestor, who constantly calls her foolish and always stands up for her, is actually the current Crown Prince, who suffers from a soul-separation disorder that allows his spirit to leave his body. Having already seen through the Chen family's secrets, the Crown Prince secretly protects and guides her by disguising himself as her ancestor, while also using his real identity to get closer to her. When the truth is finally revealed, Chen Xizhen realizes that all the special affection she has received came from the same person. The Empress appreciates her honest and kind-hearted nature and overcomes all opposition to appoint her Crown Princess.
