Shen Yan, the heir of the Marquis Wuan's Manor, is a notoriously lazy and idle slacker in Chang'an City, incompetent in both literature and martial arts, who spends all day eating, drinking, and making merry with companions. Bound by an arranged marriage set by their elders, he is forced to marry the daughter of the merchant Song family. He originally planned to leave his new bride high and dry and continue living his carefree days, but unexpectedly, after marriage, he found himself completely wrapped around his wife's little finger. With his wife's support and help, the former slacker underwent a total transformation and embarked on a counterattack all the way. While others laughed at him for being henpecked, Shen Yan only felt that having a virtuous wife at home made every day sweet to the core.
