After being reborn, Shen Nanqiao publicly annuls her marriage on her wedding day and insists on marrying Ning Su instead, shocking everyone present. Though known as a eunuch, Ning Su accepts and protects her from the ensuing scandal. \NAfter their marriage, he shields her from harm, and she defends his honor fiercely. One day, while investigating a case at a brothel, they uncover a conspiracy led by the Empress, the Ninth Prince, and Ning Ziyu to frame both Ning Su and the Crown Prince. In a moment of crisis, Shen Nanqiao discovers that Ning Su is not truly a eunuch. He is, in fact, a hidden prince who infiltrated the Eastern Bureau under disguise to uncover the truth behind his mother’s unjust death. \NResolute, Shen Nanqiao helps him expose the treacherous plot and avenge their families, only to learn that Ning Su was also the boy who once saved her in childhood. Together, they join forces with the Crown Prince to eradicate their enemies. In the end, Ning Su declines the title of prince, fakes his death, and retreats from the political stage. He chooses instead to wander the world hand in hand with Shen Nanqiao, free from the turmoil of the imperial court for the rest of their lives.
