Bai Manchuan vows to resist the marriage, but his marquis household is bankrupt, forcing him to reluctantly comply. On their wedding night, Song Xuan lays down strict household rules, ordering Bai Manchuan to abandon his dissolute ways and study the classics. Under her discipline and companionship, Bai Manchuan sheds his frivolity and gradually matures. However, when the emperor falls gravely ill and the court shifts, Prime Minister Shen conspires with grassland tribes to usurp the throne and frames the Bai family. Shen Lingbo, the prime minister's daughter who once owed Bai Manchuan a debt of gratitude, turns to darkness after her unrequited love for him is rejected, becoming the mastermind behind the plot. A palace coup erupts, and the Bai family fights desperately to protect the emperor, nearly losing their lives. At the critical moment, Song Xuan miraculously returns, fighting alongside Bai Manchuan to quell the rebellion. Shen Lingbo, seeing no way out, hangs herself. After surviving life-and-death trials, Bai Manchuan and Song Xuan's love deepens, and they find their happy ending. Song Xuan smiles and asks, 'Do you submit, young lord?'
