Cui Ying, a maid in the prime minister's mansion, is forced to marry the emperor as a substitute because of a divination saying she has a “destined prosperous fate”. She intends to keep a low profile to survive, but Emperor Xu Ningke treats her with unusual favor—accompanying her to eat street sweet taro balls late at night, publicly defending her against snobbish concubines, even holding her while reviewing memorials during state affairs. What Cui Ying doesn't know is that Xu Ningke's “favor” is a scheme: he already knows she's a substitute and wants to use her to expose the prime minister's谋反 plot. Yet when the fake lady's sincerity breaks through the emperor's calculations, their relationship shifts from “mutual exploitation” to “uncontrollable affection”. Will this marriage, born from conspiracy, end in a sweet fate as “destined prosperity” or twist into another game?
