Gu Zhao, a poor scholar, and Shen Zhaozhao, the prime minister's daughter, have loved each other since childhood. They promised to marry once he topped the imperial exam. Zhaozhao stole her family's heirloom jade pendant to fund his journey to the capital.

Zhaozhao rushed to the palace gate in tears, only to see Gu Zhao mouth "Survive" through the guards, with her jade pendant hidden in his arms and a blade pressed to his chest—his "Number One Scholar" was never for fame, but only to be her "Xiao Gu" for life.
