Princess Royal Li Rong and Prime Minister Pei Wen Xuan are husband and wife, but they're not in a harmonious state. They also have different political views. Emperor Li Chuan of the Great Xia is in danger of death due to elixir poisoning, and it's urgent to appoint a crown prince. Li Rong advocates that the son of Empress Shangguan Ya be the crown prince, while Pei Wen Xuan insists on supporting the son of Concubine Qin Zhen Zhen to inherit the throne. The two, who have been living separately, will be at loggerheads again because of this matter when they meet.
The Spring Banquet
Returning to her 18-year-old self, Li Rong intends to use the Spring Banquet to choose a prince consort again. Despite her previous entanglements with Pei Wen Xuan, she now sees him as nothing more than an inexperienced young man under 20. Thus, she plans to tease him a little for her amusement.

Consensus
The next morning, Li Chuan and Su Rong Qing, who serves as the Vice Minister of Justice, lead a group of men to find Li Rong and Pei Wen Xuan. Just having learned that the one who killed her was Su Rong Qing, Li Rong feels a mix of guilt and conflicted emotions upon seeing him again.
Test
Pei Wen Xuan has just left Qionghua Palace when he is summoned to the Imperial Study by Li Ming. Yang Quan is already waiting there, his eyes burning with envy at the sight of Pei Wen Xuan. Despite Pei Wen Xuan's sarcastic remarks, Yang Quan has no choice but to implore Li Ming to grant his marriage to Li Rong. However, Li Ming remains indifferent.

Moreover, he continues to get defeated on the northwest battlefield. Wen Xuan voices out that there's something fishy going on. Li Ming takes that opportunity to promote Pei Wen Xuan to a censor and asks him to investigate the Yang family.
Imprisonment
Li Rong and Pei Wen Xuan argue frequently, their bickering a daily occurrence, yet they exhibit perfect harmony when it comes to strategy. While investigating the Yang family, they simultaneously begin amassing military strength for the crown prince. In a display of tacit understanding, they temporarily set aside their past grievances involving Qin Zhen Zhen and travel together to Jiulu Mountain, seeking to enlist the help of Qin Zhen Zhen’s brother, the brave General Qin Lin, who has been living in seclusion in the mountains.
Coming to Terms
After Li Rong is imprisoned, Liu Chuan visits her in prison. A lady was following him. It turns out that the lady is Qin Zhen Zhen. Pei Wen Xuan thought that Qin Zhen Zhen canceled the marriage because her family forced her to do so. However, Qin Zhen Zhen says that she did so of her own accord.
