The collapse of the West Canal plunges the capital city of Yong'an into chaos, and Shen Wen Qi, the Minister of Works, is imprisoned. His daughters, Shen Ran and Shen Zhen, are caught in the turmoil. Shen Zhen, sheltered yet resourceful, finds herself at the heart of a conspiracy. Meanwhile, Lu Shi Yan, the imperial prosecutor investigating the case, is haunted by dreams of a mysterious woman, later revealed to be Shen Zhen. Despite his doubts, he approaches her. As they work together to uncover the truth, their bond deepens. But with the real mastermind lurking, their fate hangs in the balance.

Ji Yuan Su is the ice-cold Crown Prince of a powerful kingdom whose safety and prosperity owes much to the loyalty of the Hua clan. The Hua clan stuck by the kingdom's monarchs through thick and thin and a Hua clan military general helped the kingdom win a famous and decisive victory. But Ji Yuan Su is less interested in this than his predecessors. He shows no emotion no matter what crosses his path and this has won him a reputation for coldness and indifference. However, he appears to have met his match when he encounters the military general's daughter Hua Liu Li. This woman is every bit as haughty and strong-minded as the Crown Prince, although she - at first glance - seems to be as meek as a lamb. And when they meet, they both secretly resolve to outwit each other. But as these two fiery souls collide, could love bloom between them? And could they eventually form a powerful union that will help bring peace to the realm?
