Su Heng, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, was of the nanny's family and was forced to marry Dingbei General Xiao Chengyan on behalf of her legitimate sister. She originally thought she was a favored person who clung to a high branch, but she didn't expect that Xiao Chengyan hated the Su family because of the old case of annihilation ten years ago, and regarded her as a tool of revenge. From the cold reception on the wedding night, the secret assassination in the house, to Xiao Chengyan's public humiliation of her to stimulate her political opponents, Su Heng went from cowardice to sobriety in blood and tears - instead of waiting for him to relent, it was better to hold the knife herself. When she blocked the assassin's blade for him with her weak body, when she read through medical books and brewed medicine when he was poisoned, when he discovered that the real culprit in the family murder case was actually his most trusted lieutenant... The two were repeatedly pulled together in love and hate, until Su Heng learned that he had resisted the emperor's suspicion for her, and Xiao Chengyan discovered the half of the love jade pendant she had hidden. After being tortured to the extreme pain, it finally blossomed after seeing the blood.
