Summary
- The stunning marriage candidate Wei Yiyi is rejected by the emperor, unsatisfied with her beauty
- Enraged, Yiyi applies as a painter for the palace to pull a petty prank on the emperor himself
- The emperor's brother finds amusement in Yiyi's attempt, and decides to take her as his disciple!
Description
Young maiden Wei Yiyi is ranked one of the most beautiful girls in the capital, and also a hopeful potential fiancee to the emperor. Then again, she wasn't expecting to called 'ugly' by His Majesty himself, rejecting her instantly just by seeing a portrait of her!
Yiyi hatches a plan to get even on this rather -picky- emperor by trying the painter job opening at the royal palace. She shows up at the palace disguised as a boy, and paints a hilariously ludicrous portrait of the emperor and gets away with it. But has she, really? Little does she know, the emperor's brother has something up his sleeve as well! It's a topsy-turvy life around the palace for Yiyi, as she is now entrusted with capturing "beauty" through art with the two handsome faces of royalty!
