The Age of Jin Yu

The world is in chaos, and warlords rise in contention.

Fu Jin, a noblewoman from a high-ranking clan that was annihilated, is forced to marry Wei Tan, the eldest son of a warlord at the height of his power.

As the new bride of a noble house, she earns the care and favor of ministers. In an era of noble rivalries and displacement caused by war, she strives to survive, manages a business, fulfills her duties as a wife, and seeks a life of stability.

The turmoil of war teaches her to view palace intrigues and struggles for power with detachment. With a sharp and calculating mind, she plans meticulously, creating a stunning spectacle of triumph.

Yet, all her schemes are no match for his ten-year-long plan to ensnare her.

At the age of 14, Wei Tan, newly enlisted in the Imperial Guards, first encounters Fu Jin. A chance meeting in the southern market stirs his feelings. He remembers how her eyes shifted to the right when doing calculations and learns of her love for bargaining. Believing that paying a “high price” for a plum vase from her stall might win the beauty’s favor, he is disappointed to find that she only remembers the 150 coins—without even noticing the buyer’s height, build, or appearance.

Ten years later, despite the twists and turns of fate, it is a small consolation that she ends up as his wife after all.
