Zhou Yanning, who returned from studying abroad, originally wanted to help his family bank gain a foothold in troubled times, but was forced by the warlord to hand over all the funds as military pay. Under heavy pressure, the Zhou family's property was emptied to pay off debts. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother died tragically at the hands of the warlords in order to seek justice.
Zhou Yanning, whose family was ruined, was sold into a romantic field. She believed that the powerful warlord was the culprit and vowed to take revenge. After approaching the governor with her resourcefulness, she was accepted as the third concubine, allowing her to lurk around her enemies.
In the deep courtyard of the house, Zhou Yanning pretended to be obedient and secretly plotted revenge; but while dealing with the warlord, he gradually glimpsed the complexity and involuntariness behind his cold mask. Hatred and inexplicable emotions are repeatedly torn apart, making her road to revenge increasingly unpredictable in the intertwining of love and hate.
