Synopsis

Da Xi is a bratty and pretty girl, her greatest wish is to marry a handsome man. So when she fell in love with the court guard, Shao Yong at first sight, she gave up everything to enter the palace as a court lady.

But she coincidentally swapped her soul with the king, Ji Man. Identity change brought embarrassing things constantly.

The “king” cooking personally for the palace, kissing and confessing his love for the guards, passionate dancing in the courtroom and other outlandish behavior occurred frequently.

While the “court lady” was a departure from the norm, looking cool and doing things furtively with many mistakes.

With the identity of the king, Da Xi is more convenient to approach Shao Yong, but also because of the identity, It was always difficult for her to confess love to Shao Yong every time.

Da Xi and Ji Man quarreled with each other about the problem of chasing Shao Yong, fighting with each other, and not hesitating to hurt each other.

However, during the process of getting along with each other, they went from mutual understanding to mutual appreciation and finally developed a love.
