A hundred years ago, the national teacher predicted that in order for the prosperous Liang dynasty to not decline, the prince must marry a woman from the Cheng family as his princess. Cheng Wei, who had been coldly treated by her relatives, never knew that she was the destined candidate. For Cheng Che, since Cheng Wei was the destined princess, he wanted this world. Personally, I prefer the storyline of current life and grudges, so the female lead is a genuine young girl who may make foolish mistakes, but she has one advantage - anyone who has a grudge against her will be avenged in this lifetime.
