Reluctant to marry off their legitimate daughter, the prestigious Rongguo Duke's household pushes the unpopular Bao Ning to be his replacement bride. The Fourth Prince's residence is nothing more than a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, overrun with cobwebs and devoid of visitors.
