In the affluent city of Lingzhou, society is dominated by rich trading families. Few of these families can hold a candle to the Shen family – owners of scores of popular stores in the city. The family’s female heiress is Shen Miao (Zhang Xue Ying), an independent-minded and beautiful young woman who enjoys swordplay. Scores of men want to marry her, aware that marrying into her family is akin to receiving a golden ticket.

But marrying Shen Miao isn’t straightforward: She has already failed to marry twice, with her suitors running off before the big day. Regardless, two eligible bachelors have emerged. The first is the serious-minded and somewhat frail scholar Pei Yan Zhen (Xing Zhao Lin). And the second is the younger, more playful, and flirtatious Song Xi Yuan (Riley Wang) – a man who hails from another significant, albeit smaller, mercantile family. Both men must try to outdo one another in a bid to win Shen Miao’s heart. As she attempts to finally tie the knot, who will she choose?

In Ancient China, a young woman (Zhang Xue Ying) wakes with amnesia up after being captured by armed assassins and is told that she is Rong Le, the younger sister of the Emperor of the Western Qi Kingdom.

But she is soon told that she must marry Zong Zheng Wu You (Aarif Rahman), a prince of the neighboring kingdom of Northern Lin.

Things get very complicated when Zong Zheng Wu You visits and takes a shine to her – unaware that she is actually the “princess” whose hand in marriage he once turned down…
