Gu Haojun, the young master of the foremost family in Dongdu, excels at riding and archery, is skilled in military strategy, and is a man of great literary talent. Yet he is nearing thirty and has never married or had any children. Rumors abound throughout Dongdu.
With the family line, passed down through only one child for three generations, about to end with him, Madam Gu is so anxious she's ready to go kidnap someone off the street!
Then one day, out of the blue, Gu Haojun brings a woman home.
What? She's pregnant, and she was once engaged?
What? She's from a poor family, and she's a concubine's daughter?
Everyone says this woman will never be allowed through the Gu family's doors. But who could have guessed that the entire Gu family would be remarkably united in their attitude?
"Dear daughter-in-law, if that boy dares to mistreat you, discipline him according to family rules! If anyone dares to bully you, we'll make their life a living hell!"
