Lin Zhao, a poor scholar, married into the powerful Prime Minister's family as a "despised son-in-law" just to get medicine for his sick mother. For three years, he was bullied by everyone in the mansion—even his wife Su Wantang treated him like a useless decoration. Until the night the late emperor died and a powerful minister plotted rebellion, Lin suddenly pulled out a sealed imperial edict hidden for three years: he was the zhuangyuan (top scholar) the late emperor had secretly kept as the "last card" for the crown prince. Faced with his father-in-law's demand to join the rebellion and Su Wantang's tearful plea to "stay alive," Lin must fight to reverse his humiliating fate as a son-in-law and save the crumbling empire. But when he uncovers the truth behind his marriage, the biggest twist hits: the one who tricked him into becoming a son-in-law was none other than Su Wantang—the woman who once saved him in a snowy night?
