Shen Qingci, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, is ordered by imperial decree to marry the cold-faced Prince Chen, Xiao Jingxing. Everyone says this is a forced marriage wrapped in imperial power. One is a prince rumored to be cold and ruthless, the other is an imperial tutor's daughter seen by all as having an empty name. At the beginning of their grand wedding, the two maintain mutual respect and restraint. Shen Qingci is not trapped in inner-courtyard grievances; she sorts through the estate's deep-rooted malpractices and old accounts, resolving corruption within the mansion, outside rumors, and court disputes with her wisdom. Well-versed in pharmacology, skilled in making incense, proficient in chess, and gifted in painting, she gradually steps into Xiao Jingxing's heart through the trivialities of daily life with a calm and transparent attitude.
