> The Trust Recap

Xu Yu is a cartoonist who married Xiao Jinyun, a screenwriter, after a long courtship. However, due to their lack of understanding of each other’s thoughts, they gradually entered the grave of marriage and were about to divorce. Xu Yu changed her and Xiao Jinyun’s comic work "The Trust" to understand her husband’s feelings through the crack in their relationship.

The story takes place in the city of Wenzhi during the time of Da Sheng. The Queen of Wenzhi, Xu Yu, heard that her father had returned and disregarded all protocol by donning the attire of a minister just to see him. Since Xu Yu's marriage to City Lord Xiao Jinyun, her father had gone to the borderlands and, after three years of separation, she felt that he had aged considerably.

The city lord, Xiao Jinyun, was a thoughtful and vigilant man who was especially wary of Xu Yu's father, who had earned many military accomplishments. However, when Xu's father presented a proposal in court, Xiao Jinyun dismissed it and was even criticized by other ministers. Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Yu immediately stood up for her father, but her act of wearing ministerial clothes caused a great uproar in the court.

Xu's father quickly kneeled and begged for forgiveness, willing to take the punishment on behalf of Xu Yu. Xiao Jinyun ordered Xu Yu to be taken away and punished by the Mother Queen, and then he left the court. The incident caused waves in the harem as well, with Concubine Pei Xinzhu thinking that such a scandal would elevate her status and leading a group of concubines to the Mother Queen's quarters to watch the spectacle.

Mother Queen is scolding the queen of the city, Xu Yu, who caused a disturbance in court, demanding that she give up her rightful place. However, Xu Yu refuses to do so unless Xiao Jinyun divorces his wife himself, otherwise, she will always be the queen of the city. Mother Queen is very angry, but Xu Yu gets up and goes to find Xiao Jinyun. Pei Xinzhu, Mother Queen's niece, is currently instigating trouble, but Mother Queen scolds her and tells her that improving oneself is more important than harming others, as family status is important. Xu Yu is usually very good to everyone, so even Xiao Jinyun's eunuchs are pleading for her in front of him. Xiao Jinyun believes he has no choice but to divorce his wife, but at that moment, Xu's father arrives with news of an invasion by an outside tribe and says he will leave the city to prepare for war, but he is worried about his daughter. Xiao Jinyun immediately puts aside his thoughts and goes to see Mother Queen. Xu Yu meets her father outside the palace, and the father and daughter have a rare moment together. Xu's father gives her a pearl that he found on the border, but he does not have time to wait for his daughter to give him a peace charm.

Xiao Jinyun warns Xu Yu to stay in the inner court and then goes to see Mother Queen. Xiao Jinyun's lack of an heir is a concern for Mother Queen, so she arranges for him to choose a concubine. Xu Yu practices sword fighting in the courtyard and her figure is exceptional, making Xiao Jinyun think that she has let go of her anger.

Waking up again, Xu Yu found that her body had turned into Xiao Jinyun’s. Mother Queen was taking care of him. Xu Yu was confused and quickly drove Mother Queen away. After confirming that this was not a dream, Xu Yu was stunned. When Pei Xinzhu learned that Xiao Jinyun had awakened, she immediately cried and ran to find him. Xu Yu looked at her shadow almost pouncing on him and immediately asked her to pray for him. On the other hand, Xiao Jinyun woke up and found that he had become Xu Yu. Before he could react, Mother Queen and his body rushed over.
