Shen Zhaozhao, a neglected concubine’s daughter of the Hou Mansion, has been sent to tend the jade steps in the back garden since her mother’s early death—even her coming-of-age ceremony was perfunctorily handled by her stepmother. One late night, she finds the seriously injured teenager Gu Heng unconscious under the jade steps and hides him in the woodshed to heal him. Gu Heng claims to be a hunted bodyguard, but secretly protects Zhaozhao from her eldest sister’s bullying and repairs the destroyed potted plants on the jade steps. Just as Zhaozhao falls for him, Gu Heng’s real identity—a crown prince framed by powerful officials—is exposed when his pursuers arrive. Caught between being sold to an old wealthy merchant by her stepmother and her lover entangled in court disputes, Zhaozhao stands on the jade steps, facing an impossible choice.
