Su Qiqi’s name sounds gentle and obedient, but she is a genuine little troublemaker. Born to a concubine, she refuses to follow the rules or heed anyone’s discipline, and never learns her lesson. When she was young, her father and legitimate mother sent her away to the countryside, where she grew into someone carefree and untamed. Then she met the young general Mu Yanchen and fell for him at first sight. Determined to change herself into a gentle, virtuous, well-read and sensible wife, she soon discovered that her husband had eyes only for his comrade’s younger sister, who had lived in the Mu household for years.

But after countless disappointments and hurts, she realized that yielding would never make everything right. Unwilling to make him suffer or put him in a difficult position, she finally decided to let go, though it broke her heart. She had thought she would spend the rest of her life numb and alone, but the man with a mole at the corner of his eye, a man who had also been abandoned by his own family, entered her world without warning... They used each other and tested each other, and before they knew it, something had begun to change. Neither of them noticed...
