Su Wan, an unloved concubine's daughter of the prime minister's mansion, volunteers to marry Gu Zhao, the God of War who is about to go to war and rumored to "kill his wives", to save her wrongfully imprisoned mother. Resolved to "trade her life for her mother's", she enters the mansion only to find Gu Zhao is far from terrifying—he secretly sends her candied dates from the frontier during battlefield breaks and quietly defends her when framed by her elder half-sister. It turns out Gu Zhao was saved by Su Wan three years ago when he was in danger while traveling incognito. When Su Wan finally clears her mother's name, Gu Zhao faces suspicion from the emperor due to his great achievements. She resolutely sells her dowry to support him in cleansing the emperor's side. From a transactional marriage to mutual devotion, they realize: "Giving one's all" means I'd trade my life for your safety, and you'd trade the entire kingdom for my smile. When Gu Zhao ascends the throne, he reveals a decade-old secret: "The half piece of cake you gave me back then—I'm repaying it with the entire kingdom."
