Su Qingyan, a modern independent woman, was unexpectedly reborn as the legitimate daughter of an imaginary ancient Hou Mansion. In her previous life, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion married into the powerful Duke Dingguo's Mansion and became the Crown Prince's wife, Shen Mingwei. She had the status of a legitimate daughter, but had a cowardly personality and was ignorant of worldly affairs. She was suppressed by her mother-in-law, plotted by her concubines, and neglected by her husband. In the end, she died in a well-planned "accident", and her natal family was also implicated.
Once reborn, Su Qingyan returned to the turning point of her destiny - before she was about to marry into the Duke Dingguo's palace. This time, she brings with her a modern soul and memories of her past life, determined not to repeat the same mistakes. She must use her wisdom and foresight of the future to gain a foothold in the turbulent inner palace of the Hou Mansion, protect herself and her family, and even influence her husband and change the fate of the family. From a purdah woman who was at the mercy of others, she grew into a tough-minded, strategic, and respected mistress of the Hou Mansion, and she wrote her own legend in the tide of the times.
