Shen Zhaoning, daughter of the National Protector General, is reduced to the lowliest palace maid after her family is wrongfully executed for treason. Determined to avenge her family and uncover the truth, she sneaks into the mansion of Xiao Jingyan, a seemingly idle prince, to steal confidential letters. However, she discovers this "unambitious" prince is actually the emperor in hiding, secretly plotting to eliminate the powerful consort clan and reclaim his throne. From being adversaries (a thief vs. her target) to mutual testers (a pawn vs. the player), they rediscover their childhood bond—he was the little beggar who saved her from pursuers, and she was the little lady who gave him half a pancake. Just as their romance blooms, the consort clan strikes back, exposing Xiao Jingyan's true identity. Shen Zhaoning is torn: between her family's blood feud and fated love, between her obsession to clear her family's name and the crisis of a turbulent throne. Under the sweet romance lies a power game—every step hides a twist. Can they hold onto each other in the peril?
