Synopsis:
Sang Qi wants to become the first female student at the male only Imperial College to fulfil her older brother's final wish. As the only daughter of the Grand Marshal, she manages to wrangle her father into seeking leave from the Emperor for her to enroll at the Imperial College.
However, prior to classes beginning, she makes a bet with the arrogant Lady Song Jia Yin that she will be able to get Yan Yun Zhi, the aloof no 1 young master of the capital, to accept her embroidered purse by the time of the Lantern Festival or be forced to perform on stage during the festivities.
Sang Qi only realises after the bet that the gifting of an embroidered purse is considered a love token and Yan Yun Zhi is steadfast in refusing her purse despite the many hilarious antics Sang Qi tries to get him to do so. When she arrives at the Imperial College, she finds, to her dismay that Yan Yun Zhi is the Dean (司業). Opposites attract, sparks fly, and love blossoms, but Sang Qi's fellow student and childhood friend Zhou Wen Yuan is also determined to win her affections.
As Sang Qi and Yan Yun Zhi investigate the mystery behind Sang Qi's brother's suspicious death, it becomes clear that it is tied to a wider conspiracy involving a mysterious organisation with links to high officials and the palace itself. Dangers abound as they get closer and closer to unmasking the ultimate mastermind...

First thoughts:
🐼: A Female Student arrives at the Imperial College is fluffy fun right from the first episode. It's the type of romcom that Queen of Comedy Zhao Lu Si is great in - I suspect this one is not going to be too challenging to watch. Sit back and enjoy the fun 😆
