Synopsis:
Chen Xiao Qian is a screenwriter whose latest work, titled “Fierce Tiger sniffs the Rose” is set in a fictitious world where two cities with opposite principles exist. Hua Yuan City was where women led and men were the lowest on the social ladder while Xuan Hu City was the exact opposite. After Xuan Hu City lost the battle, their leader had no choice but to send his son, Han Shuo, for a marriage alliance. Unbeknownst to everyone at Hua Yuan City, Xuan Hu City had hidden their military prowess and intentionally lost to Hua Yuan City because Han Shuo was terminally ill and needed Hua Yuan City’s rare treasure, the Dragon Bone that could cure all poisons and heal all illnesses. Doctors have diagnosed that Han Shuo wouldn’t live past twenty and he was going to be nineteen soon. With his death day approaching, Han Shuo had devised a plan where he would get Hua Yuan City’s second princess, Chen Chu Chu to fall for him and get the Dragon Bone for him. After which, Xuan Hu City’s army will invade and conquer Hua Yuan City. However, Han Shuo ends up falling for Chen Chu Chu and even though he still led his troops to conquer Hua Yuan City, he spares her life. Devastated by his betrayal, Chu Chu bides her time, training up an army and leading them to conquer Xuan Hu City. Meeting on the battlefield, the two former lovers charge towards each other in a one on one fight and Chu Chu stabs Han Shuo. However, Han Shuo couldn’t bear to hurt her and had flipped his sword’s point towards himself. Having gotten her revenge with Han Shuo’s death, Chu Chu succeeds her mother as the next leader and during her ascension ceremony, the gates of heaven opened, signalling the gods’ favour.
After rushing out the script to meet the deadline, Chen Xiao Qian loses consciousness and wakes up only to find herself in the world she had written, as Chen Qian Qian, the cannon fodder who dies in Episode 3 after forcing Han Shuo to marry her, then drinking wine he had poisoned on their wedding night. After deducing that the wedding was to be held that very night, Xiao Qian cancels all the wedding festivities and steels herself to drink the poisoned wine, consoling herself that she would be able to return home. However, due to their different customs when it came to drinking the wedding wine, Xiao Qian doesn’t end up consuming the poison. Wanting to return home but too afraid to commit suicide, Xiao Qian reckons that she would be able to return home once the story ends and so she decides to play matchmaker for her husband Han Shuo and second sister Chen Chu Chu.
