On the night of the palace coup, amidst the flickering fire and blood, the Li dynasty collapsed overnight, leaving only the orphaned Li Zhao alive. She ascended the throne, stepping over the corpses of her loved ones. Facing the dire situation of invading Huns in the north and devastating floods in the south, she was forced to set aside her prejudices and personally visit Shen Zhiyuan, a "rebellious minister" who had been demoted by the late emperor.

Kneeling in his humble abode, she gambled the empire, inviting him to emerge from seclusion. He, in turn, as a strict mentor, dispelled the mists on her path to emperorship. The harshness of morning lessons, the warm tea served while reviewing memorials late at night, the scars from protecting her in the imperial garden, and his resolute defense against all objections in court—all these made the fifteen-year-old empress, amidst the cold politics, yearn for this rare warmth.

Just as feelings began to stir, rumors spread, pressure from officials to secure a successor mounted, and the chasm between monarch and subject loomed like an uncrossable divide. When she drunkenly confessed her true feelings, he resigned, intending to leave. She defied all objections and enfeoffed him as the Imperial Monarch (Chen Jun), but her method pushed him further away.

When the royal faction framed him and arrows rained down, Shen Zhiyuan protected her with his life, and at that moment, they finally broke the shackles of "monarch and subject." He believed in her imperial talent and harbored unspoken feelings.

During a late spring banquet, Su Wan Ting, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, clutched the peace talisman she had personally embroidered, watching her beloved Xiao Ci and her cousin chatting and laughing. This admiration, from the very beginning, was misplaced.

The common scholar Xiao Ci suffered a family misfortune. Su Wan Ting used the full influence of the Su family as leverage, exchanging it for a joyless marriage.

Five years into the marriage, she shed the pampered delicacy of a legitimate daughter, dutifully attending to her in-laws morning and evening, smoothing paths and building connections, only to receive his cold indifference and the accusation, "You’re forcing me with your kindness."

When Concubine Liu entered the household and her father was unjustly imprisoned, Xiao Ci's heartlessness completely crushed her. With the Su family's downfall, Su Wan Ting faked her "death from illness," changed her name to A Wan, and went south to Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, during a famine relief mission in the northwest, Xiao Ci and A Wan unexpectedly reunited. At this time, his career had suffered setbacks, and she had long since shed her former glamour, becoming resilient and independent.

Undercurrents of famine surged, and corrupt officials wreaked havoc. The two were forced to collaborate on investigating the case. During their interactions, Xiao Ci finally saw the true feelings she had deeply hidden in the past, and regret began to grow within him.

When the Su family's grievances were finally redressed, Xiao Ci bowed in repentance. A Wan looked at the land reborn after the disaster, and also at the man before her who had finally awakened, and softly said, "The old Su Wan Ting is dead. A Wan is willing to give you another chance."
