In the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, Shen Weiwan traveled from Jinling to the capital, married into the Yongkang Marquis Mansion as the daughter of a eunuch, and became the wife of his second son Gu Jingchen. This seemingly inappropriate marriage conceals the foresight of Shen Yu, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and eunuch behind her - she should not only be Gu Jingchen's wife, but also be the cornerstone of his career and the pillar of the Hou family.
When she first entered the Hou Mansion, she faced the temptation of Mrs. Hou, the hostility of the eldest lady, the jealousy of the eldest couple, as well as the complicated personnel relationships in the mansion. However, Shen Weiwan has been carefully cultivated by Shen Yu since she was a child, and her family management and human calculations have long been engraved in her bones. She dug out the mole from the warehouse accounts, used softness to overcome the toughness of Madam Hou, and established her prestige with a perfect family banquet. In just a few months, she steadily took over the palace's official duties, and kept the huge Hou's mansion in order. Even the old lady praised her full of praise.
And in front of her husband Gu Jingchen, she is a rare confidant and counselor. He was ostracized in the Hanlin Academy, so she planned connections for him and helped him get in touch with the prince's cronies; when he was ordered to go to the disaster area to provide relief, she prepared supplies and countermeasures in advance, and even the prince's influence that was secretly obstructing him was deftly resolved by her.

She not only maintained the stability and harmony of the inner family, but also paved the way for her husband to become a successful man. She never disdains witchcraft and secrets, only uses wisdom and hands to

This book is a novel about home fighting that has both a sense of comfort and quality - Shen Weiwan is by no means a dependent. She entered the prince's house as the adopted daughter of a eunuch, used her calculations to find out the inner ghost, and used her gentleness to stabilize her husband's affairs. She became the "invisible counselor" of her husband's career. There is no blood or selfishness in the house fight, and the game is broken only by wisdom; the relationship between husband and wife is not a one-way dependence, but a side by side when meeting opponents. The sobriety and relaxation of women are written in the brocade curtains of a deep house. It is refreshing, the person is established, and it is a pleasure to read.
