[Traditional historical romance and household intrigue + rebirth, revenge, and satisfying comeuppance + a prince pursuing his bride]

Lin Yunwan is the legitimate daughter of the illustrious Lin clan. When the marquisate is on the verge of being stripped of its title, she marries beneath her station to wed Lu Zhengliu, the heir to the marquisate.

On their wedding day, her husband coldly tells her, "Marrying you was never my wish," and neglects her for seven long years.

Still clinging to a sliver of hope that they might live in harmony as husband and wife, she devotes herself to raising the son he adopted from his clan.

By the time their adopted son has achieved success and renown, her health has been ruined by exhaustion.

She thinks her life has been fulfilled after all.

But as she lies dying, her adopted son tells her, "Mother? She's my mother! You're nothing but a vicious foster mother."

Lu Zhengliu brings along his "cousin," a woman of such lowly birth that she is fit only to be a concubine, and tells Yunwan, "You've occupied the matriarch's position for twenty years. It's time you gave it back to Bao'er."

Lin Yunwan is so furious that she dies on the spot.

Everything she spent twenty years building is handed to someone else, and even the child she raised was another woman's son.

How could she possibly accept such a fate?

Given a second life, she refuses to play along.

If they dare trample over her to get what they want, she'll make them regret it!

The wife of the heir to the Marquis of Wuding dies in a great fire.

Rumor has it that the heir, Lu Zhengliu, is driven mad by grief.

Meanwhile, Qi Lingheng, the highly favored Prince Huan, has acquired a graceful and regal princess consort. Someone notices that the Princess Consort of Huan looks exactly like Lin Yunwan.

A rare smile appears on Qi Lingheng's handsome, inscrutable face. "Fortunately, someone didn't know her worth. Otherwise, how could I have married the woman I love?"
