Xiao Rui has been on the throne for years but still refuses to name an empress, driving the entire court to distraction—until a single imperial edict sends Xu Jingyi, the second young lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis household, straight into the palace. Beautiful, lively, fond of good food and lively company, Jingyi assumes she's merely going through the motions of a marriage arrangement. But after the wedding, the emperor pays her special attention, and his words and deeds always seem to carry some inexplicable misunderstanding. One is blissfully clueless, the other draws closer step by step—from the marquis's estate to the inner palace, mishaps abound and laughter never stops. Watch as Xu Jingyi scrambles to handle the daily chaos of court life while tangling with this sharp-tongued, soft-hearted emperor in a riotous yet sweetly blossoming romance.
