Gu Qingyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, loses her birth mother after she is framed and killed. That very day, Concubine Su is swiftly promoted to the principal wife and moves into the main residence.
To drive Gu Qingyuan out, Concubine Su schemes to marry her off to the Jiang family’s God of War, a prince with a hidden ailment.
Gu Qingyuan plays along, using the powerful Jiang family as a stepping-stone to avenge her mother.
They say he has crippled legs, yet when he marries her, he carries her on his back into the bridal chamber in front of everyone.
They say he cannot father children, yet on the night she enters the Jiang household, his little rascal of a son barges into their wedding chamber.
They say he is cold and heartless, yet she discovers that he was deeply devoted to his former wife.
Only after marrying into the family does she realize she has been duped.
Jiang Jingheng is nowhere to be found on their wedding night.
Early the next morning, her parents-in-law hand her the household keys and beg her to raise their only legitimate grandson and manage the Jiang household.
Only an idiot would agree. But just as she refuses, she is told that the old madam and her mother were close friends, and that the old madam can help her get revenge.
From then on, she raises Jiang Nian'er as both father and mother.
Just as she finally breathes a sigh of relief, she is told that Jiang Jingheng has died on the battlefield.
Years later, after Gu Qingyuan has remarried, she encounters Jiang Jingheng, who has returned from the dead.
