Princess Chen Li of the Great Jing Dynasty has an unconventional father who understands the tropes of tragic romance novels and is determined to protect his daughter. From childhood, he teaches her, "With no man in your heart, you can live freely for the rest of your life," helping her avoid the tricks of terrible men. She remains true to herself despite all kinds of people and temptations. Rather than depending on men, she becomes the little princess most cherished by her father. Uninterested in romance and devoted to agriculture, she eventually becomes an agricultural expert who benefits the common people. She grows into a truly independent female protagonist, never marries, and yet lives a free and fulfilling life.
