The real identity of the "willow thief" is Liu Rong. Thirteen years ago, she was rescued by Lord Su from the great floods in the South. In order to repay him, Liu Rong pretends to be his daughter, Su Jin Zhen, and marries Xu Mu Chen. Under Lord Su’s instructions, she must infiltrate the Xu manor in order to find a jade pendant. From the start, neither spouse gave any thought to their sham of a marriage. On the surface, Liu Rong is a gentle and considerate wife. By night, she is a notorious bandit.

Inspector Xu Mu Chen and the thief have been caught in repeated confrontations. Without knowing that the thief he’s been trying to catch is his wife, Xu Mu Chen returns from his troublesome run-ins with the thief only to find more trouble waiting for him at home. Thereafter, the day-to-day interactions between an official and a thief lead to a sweet romance.
