Our beloved fake princess returns for the second installation of the series. This time she is the fiancee of the Fifth Prince, but her life will be far worse off. The emperor's mother has returned from praying in the temples and she is appalled by all the changes that the emperor has made; it was bad enough that he adopted a daughter from the commoners but also found wives for the Fifth prince and Er Kang, who she wanted to marry his maid Qing Er to. To top it all off, Xiao Yan Zi's nonsense and no sense of palace rules has driven the Grand Empress over the edge. She is determined to drive the two girls out of the Palace. At this time, the beautiful daughter of a bordering nation - Han Xiang was "given" to the emperor as a prize so that the two nations will stop fighting. Han Xiang has a specialty that she gives off a sweet odor naturally.

On their journey they are being helped by Xiao Jian, who are helping them for no reason but seems to not like the emperor very much... and what is with his special treatment for Xiao Yan Zi?
