Also known as “Looking For A Noble Son In Law”. The Jian family in Jiangning Prefecture has been in the business of gold jewelry for generations, a well-known old brand gold shop. Old Master Jian is affluent in gold and silver, aspiring to penetrate high society through commerce. Thus, he hatches a plan to find a distinguished son-in-law for his only daughter, Jian Mingshu. Old Master Jian casts a wide net, carefully nurturing several poor scholars, showering them with gifts of gold and silver, all in anticipation of finding a suitable match from the honor roll.
Lu Chang is one of the fish in the Jian family’s “fish pond”, but Jian Mingshu sets her sights on him early on and falls for him. However, Lu Chang is indifferent and resents the Jian family’s attempt to use favors to win him over, showing no affection towards Jian Mingshu. On the day of the provincial exam results, Jian Mingshu and Lu Chang have a falling out, mutually cutting off their ties and resolving their grievances.
This should have settled the matter, with the two going their separate ways regarding marriage. However, shortly afterward, before Lu Chang leaves Jiangning Prefecture, disaster strikes the Jian family and Jian Mingshu is severely injured. In gratitude, Lu Chang saves Jian Mingshu, only to find that she has lost her memory upon awakening. What can be done? With the Jian family dwindling to just Jian Mingshu, Lu Chang reluctantly takes her to the capital city. To prevent Jian Mingshu from having inappropriate thoughts, Lu Chang deceives her. “You are my younger sister.” Yes, Jian Mingshu becomes Lu Mingshu, and later she becomes the younger sister of the newly crowned top scholar in the capital city, becoming quite popular.
Later, Lu Chang regrets his actions deeply.
