The original main character, Lin Yanran, was the daughter of a high-ranking official, a typical beauty from a wealthy family.

The male lead, Yang Junjie, was the result of a one-night stand between the former emperor and a embroiderer by the Daming Lake.

After the emperor had his fun, he pulled up his pants and left, leaving the embroiderer waiting there day after day.

Spring came and autumn went.

Ten months later, the embroiderer gave birth to a son.

Because he didn't have a father, Yang Junjie suffered from constant abuse and was often ridiculed as a bastard.

When Lin Yanran, who was only five years old at the time, happened to be visiting Daming Lake with her maternal family, she saw Yang Junjie being beaten up by others. She ordered her attendants to protect him.

Lin Yanran not only drove away the bullies, but also sent him to a clinic to treat his injuries. When she saw Yang Junjie's dilapidated thatched cottage, she waved her little hand and gave him a hundred taels of silver.

In order to ensure that Yang Junjie could protect himself in the future, Lin Yanran even left a bodyguard behind to teach him martial arts.

Therefore, Lin Yanran has always been a cherished figure in Yang Junjie's heart.

However, the problem is that they never exchanged names.

And people change as they grow up.

As Lin Yanran grew older, she shed her childishness and became knowledgeable and reasonable, completely different from her lively and adorable self in childhood.

Although Yang Junjie had always been trying to gather information about Lin Yanran, the gap in their social status was too great. The bodyguard left behind only taught him martial arts and didn't reveal anything else, so he never obtained any useful information.

It wasn't until Yang Junjie turned sixteen that his mother, who had endured years of hardship and whose health had deteriorated, took out a token on her deathbed and asked Yang Junjie to find the emperor who had forgotten about her after putting on his pants.

After going through countless hardships, Yang Junjie finally succeeded in finding his father, achieving a social leap, and becoming the honorable prince.
