During the Dajing period, a rural woman, Lin Awu, rescued Xiao Jing, the Marquis of Yongning, who was being chased and seriously injured and comatose outside Chaiyuan on a rainy day. After Xiao Jing recovered from her injury, she was grateful for her life-saving grace and pitied her for being helpless. He offered to take her back to the Hou Mansion and promised to let her live a stable life. Lin Awu had never seen the prosperity of the capital, and he longed for a "good life", so he nodded in agreement.
But after entering the house, reality gave her a heavy blow. Xiao Jing's parents, Mrs. Yongning Hou and the old Marquis, disliked her rural background and vulgarity. Not only did they not allow her to take charge of the palace, they also made things difficult for her in every way: they made her do the work of a low-level servant, deliberately made her look embarrassed at the banquet, and even secretly matched Xiao Jing with the noble daughter of the aristocratic family. Although Xiao Jing was grateful to her, he gradually compromised under the pressure of his parents and the face of the Hou family, and turned a blind eye to her situation. Lin Awu suffered so much indifference and grievance in the Hou's Mansion that he finally became disheartened and took the initiative to divorce. He left the Hou's Mansion alone and died of poverty and illness soon after.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Awu was reborn and returned to the day when he rescued Xiao Jing. The sound of rain continued, and Xiao Jing was still lying unconscious in the muddy water. Thinking of the humiliation and tragic death in her previous life, she no longer yearned for the "home life" in her heart. She happened to see Xiao Cui in the village.
