Lin Wanwan endured ten years of hardship, selling her dowry and doing embroidery to fund her husband Gu Zhaowen's imperial exam. But on the day Gu became the Top Scholar, he arrived with his sister-in-law Su Shi, demanding a divorce on the grounds of "harming her spouse"—Su's father, the Minister of Personnel, could help him climb the political ladder. Heartbroken, Lin agreed to marry Shen Lie, a village butcher, for his honesty and a warm meal. To her shock, on their wedding night, Shen removed his rough clothes to reveal a python robe embroidered with golden dragons—he was the regent in disguise! Three years earlier, during an incognito trip, he had seen Lin tiptoeing to buy a brush for her husband in a bookstore. Since then, he had pretended to be a butcher, waiting for her to let go of the past and give her the long-overdue love she deserved.
