Zhao Mingsheng dreams she isn't the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household, and tragically freezes to death in a dilapidated temple.
When she wakes up, the dream begins to unfold into reality. The real daughter has returned – how far is she from meeting the same fate?
Determined to avoid freezing to death, she decides to return home and farm! Just as she prepares to live a simple life as a country girl, she discovers things aren't quite as she expected.
Where's the humble farmhouse she envisioned? This courtyard feels more like a paradise on earth! Where's the father toiling in the fields? He's cultivating rare medicinal herbs! Where's the rustic village mother? She's growing the famed "Eighteen Bachelors" (a type of peony)! And the poor scholar brother? He passes the imperial exams with top honors!
Just when everyone believes Zhao Mingsheng is destined for a life of farming, news arrives from the palace: the Emperor intends to select a consort for Prince Heng, and the chosen one is none other than the fake daughter raised in the Marquis's household for fourteen years – Zhao Mingsheng!
Half of the eligible ladies in the capital weep upon hearing the news, but that's not the end of it.
The most dashing and unrestrained young Marquis in the capital publicly declares he will only marry her.
The remaining half of the ladies have their hearts broken.
Zhao Mingsheng, who has just returned to the capital with her family, merely smiles faintly upon hearing this. A career is far more appealing!
She just wanted to be a lazy, unassuming person, but it seems she's winning without even trying.
