Court Lady

Fu Rou, the second daughter of the Fu family, has had multiple men ask for her hand in marriage. After finally finding a match, she reveals her face to the crowd before the marriage, causing the men to have heart attacks due to her beauty.

Just when Yan Zi Fang was about to reveal himself to Fu Rou, Sheng Chu Mu falls from a tree. Desperate to impress Fu Rou, he challenges her younger brother to a duel.

Pretending to act like a gentleman, Sheng Chu Mu reminds Fu Rou to call him by his full name. Later, it is revealed to Fu Rou that Sheng Chu Mu is notorious for visiting brothels in Chang'an.

Everyone is in disbelief when Sheng Chu Mu arrives back home a new man. He is now intelligent, studious and hardworking, and no longer interested in women.

The hidden message brings Sheng Chu Mu to Fou Rou. He shows up alone because he can't exploit imperial resources just to save a woman he loves. Later, Lu Qi challenges Sheng Chu Mu to a duel for Fu Rou's hand in marriage.

Sheng Chu brings Fu Rou and her sister to Chang'an. He intends to marry Fu Rou, but his mother is against their marriage as her family are merchants and therefore not noble enough to match his family.
