In the winter in Beijing, the snow is falling. Although the charcoal fire inside the red door of Shen Mansion was warm, it could not melt the coldness in the heart of the legitimate daughter Shen Li. There was chaos in the front hall, and the stepmother was planning a birthday party for her younger sister. Her biological mother's belongings were used as gifts. She went to argue with her, but was humiliated and beaten, and her personal maid was also sold.
In the chaos, Shen Li lost her footing and fell into the water, but she didn't want to open her eyes and find herself back in her late teens. In his new life, Shen Li hid his talents and secretly sought help from his mother's family. He also happened to meet a miracle doctor and learned medical skills. During the wedding ceremony, she sang a stunning song and her talent first emerged, attracting the attention of the young general Xiao Yi.
Later, at a banquet at the Marquis's residence, her stepmother wanted to make her embarrassed in public, but Shen Li impressed everyone with her exquisite chess skills. At the poetry party, her sister plagiarized poems in an attempt to overwhelm her, but Shen Li wrote a poem out of her mouth to turn the tide. Xiao Yi also made many rescues, and secret feelings arose.
There was a sudden change in the palace, the emperor was seriously ill, and treacherous men were plotting for power. Shen Li entered the palace with her medical skills, and was awarded the title of princess due to her meritorious service in rescuing the emperor. The stepmother colluded with foreign thieves in an attempt to murder the whole family. Shen Li took advantage of the scheme and cooperated with Xiao Yi inside and outside to uncover the traitor in one fell swoop.
The truth is revealed to the world. Her stepmother is imprisoned and her sister is married far away. Shen Li keeps the family business and joins hands with Xiao Yi to see the prosperity of the capital and spend the rest of their lives together.
