share time: 2026-01-20 02:31:31

In a famine-stricken year, orphan Lin Xiaoman accidentally breaks into the Marquis Mansion while escaping human traffickers, and coincidentally finds the mansion searching for the missing young marquis. To survive, she grits her teeth and pretends to be a fool to impersonate him, surprisingly getting away with it. But the mansion is a web of intrigue—the old marquis is critically ill, the second branch of the family eyes the inheritance greedily, servants mock her behind her back, and even Gu Shen, the leader of the mansion's secret guards, stares at her with a scrutinizing gaze, as if to expose her disguise. She tremblingly maintains her 'foolish marquis' persona while dealing with the second branch's schemes and guarding against Gu Shen's tests. During their interactions, she discovers Gu Shen harbors a secret of avenging the late madam, and her 'foolishness' gradually makes Gu Shen let down his guard, sparking hidden affection between them. When the second branch finally gets evidence of her fake identity and Gu Shen learns her secret, how will she survive this identity game?
