Synopsis

Lin Yimo, daughter of a court painter, had loved General Fu since she was young. Fortune smiled upon her when the emperor arranged her marriage to the man of her dreams. She thought she would secure her place through a son and enjoy a life of wealth and honor, but instead, a rift grew between her and the general. Her father was demoted, the general ignored her, and she was left without support. In her hour of need, she took up her brush and sold paintings, hoping to save her father through her own efforts. But the powerful crushed her, while prejudice and convention shackled her at every turn. Can she break free from the constraints of propriety and earn enough to rescue her father from danger? And where will her relationship with the general lead?
