The original Princess Consort was silent and reclusive; abandoned by her husband, Ling Qingruo, in a cold courtyard, she suffered constant bullying at the hands of the favored Consort He and the opportunistic servants. With her straightforward and spirited personality, Zuo Xiaoqian cannot tolerate her oppressive situation and is determined to remarry and escape the Ruo Kingdom’s palace. She encounters the handsome yet scheming Prince of Ruo, Ling Qingruo, who is disguising his true identity. From being a bickering couple to testing each other’s limits, they gradually uncover each other’s identities and become entangled in the palace’s internal strife, the mystery of the Gu family’s treasure, and imperial conflicts. Along the way, she befriends her loyal maid, Xiao Lian, and her devoted cousin, Min Xinyi, while also having to contend with the schemes of her spoiled younger sister, Gu Zhaole, and her ambitious father, Gu Zong. As Zuo Xiaoqian thwarts insults and defies challenges while navigating crises, she gradually develops feelings for the cunning yet deeply affectionate Ling Qingruo. Her journey takes her from a determination to remarry to a deepening love, ultimately unraveling the mysteries of her identity and the treasure, and finding her own sweet, exclusive love.
