Empress Chu Zhao disguises herself as "Zhao Niang" to investigate the Jiangnan flood. As soon as she enters Gusu County, she’s swept off her feet by the new magistrate Shen Yanzhi—sharp-eyed when solving cases, soft as osmanthus cake when helping victims, and even saves her from an assassin with a folding fan, dropping a secret flood map that reveals he’s also investigating. Chu suspects he’s a spy for a powerful minister, but catches him weeping to his late mother’s tablet: "I’ll give Jiangnan back its happy days." Shen, however, has long seen through her identity and quietly swaps her cold tea for warm ginger tea during her late nights. They "maneuver" around each other while falling in love, but the mastermind behind the flood is already closing in—can their hidden affection survive their status gap and deadly secrets?
