Gu Zheng, a concubine's daughter in the Earl's mansion, is framed in a drugging scandal and killed by her own family. After being reborn, she finds that the aloof National Preceptor Shen Yan unexpectedly stands up for her and even petitions the emperor for a marriage decree. On the surface, they are cooperative spouses, but each harbors their own motives—Shen Yan uses the marriage to maneuver between the Crown Prince and Prince Duan, investigating the truth behind his mother's death and the prince's lineage; Gu Zheng sheds her former timidity, breaking through schemes with boldness and wit, renovating a library to aid the underprivileged, and completely escaping the plight of a concubine's daughter. Amidst the power struggles, they lower their guards and develop feelings for each other. As all truths gradually surface, what kind of ending will they face?
