Synopsis and Plot Summary

It tells the story of a pair of princesses from the mortal realm. The older sister who is gentle and kind is betrothed to the heavenly prince. The younger sister, smart and cunning, is betrothed to the demon prince. Due to a mixup, the two sisters are married off to the wrong husbands. It paves the way for two beautiful romances and also ignites a conspiracy that shakes the four realms.

The queen of the human tribe has given birth to twin girls - one is righteous while the other is evil. The older Qingkui is respected by the entire tribe and has been chosen to become a heavenly consort; the younger Yetan is shunned by her own people and chosen to be the demon's consort. On the day of their marriages, the sisters accidentally get on the wrong sedan chair. Yetan and her immortal husband Xuan Shang become a quarrelsome but loving couple. Qingkui becomes a chess piece in the third prince Chao Feng's plans to gain power. At this time, the real identity of the twins are revealed. Their very existence could spell the end of the four realms and many are clamouring for their deaths.
