(Traditional historical romance and household intrigue + reborn revenge and face-slapping + a remorseful husband chasing his wife + the second male lead wins. PS: This is an ensemble story with many other characters' perspectives, so please keep that in mind before reading.)

Yu Youwei is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Great General Zhenyuan. Bound by an agreement between their fathers, she marries Wen Shiyan, the childhood friend and son of the Marquis of Boyuan.

Unexpectedly, on their wedding night, foreign enemies launch an attack, and Wen Shiyan receives an imperial order to head to the frontier and repel them.

As he leaves, Wen Shiyan takes Yu Youwei's hand and says, "Yanyan, wait for me to come back."

Yu Youwei waits for him for seven years. During those years, she manages the vast marquis's estate and dutifully serves her mother-in-law, long having forgotten how vibrant a woman she once was.

At last, she eagerly awaits Wen Shiyan's triumphant return, but he comes back with a beauty by his side, and the two even have a child together.

Thinking of the affection they once shared, Yu Youwei treats the concubine's child as her own. She never imagined that this would lead to her being trapped in a fire and dying...
