Plot

The story revolves around Cheng Shaoshang, who was left behind by her parents when they went to the battlefield. As a result, she was raised by her scheming aunt and ignorant grandmother. In order to protect herself from the constant abuse and mistreatment, she honed herself to be extra vigilant.
The plot starts with the return of Shaoshang's parents. At first, she hopes that her life will improve after reuniting with them. However, years of estrangement have made it difficult for them to become a family. As she lacked love her whole life, Shaoshang is both pragmatic and insecure when it comes to opening up to others.
She soon meets the Emperor's foster son, Ling Buyi, whom she views as a cold and ruthless person. However, that notion changes as she continually finds herself involved with him. Through her interactions with Ling Buyi, she unintentionally becomes involved in the mystery surrounding his family and identity.
