A seemingly delicate beauty with clever tricks up her sleeve, a madwoman of the inner quarters, paired with an overbearing, powerful young marshal who commands the army and has a swaggering streak.
Shen Linxing entered the Military Governor's residence to repay a debt of gratitude, only to catch the eye of the governor's son, the young marshal Xie Yanh Huang.
Everyone thought the people in the governor's residence would torment Shen Linxing until she wasted away, since the young marshal despised women from the pleasure houses like her most of all.
Who could have guessed that after all their anxious waiting, they would find the young marshal not only didn't hate Shen Linxing, but kept calling her “Stepmom”?
Shen Linxing only pretended to be obedient to repay her debt, but if she didn't win over the young marshal, Xie Yanh Huang, she'd die.
Just as Shen Linxing was putting all her effort into pleasing him, the madman Xie Yanh Huang turned out to be someone who'd spoil her rotten as long as she stroked him the right way!
The proud, aloof young marshal is secretly a clingy puppy. Forced to reveal her sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside true self, she finds him so madly devoted that he'd give his life for her!
(A story of mutual healing. The heroine is chaste and only came to repay a debt of gratitude. Both leads are chaste.)
