On the day she married into the Marquis of Jing'an, her makeup was as cold as the cold pool. Her mother-in-law Liu Yuru's hostility was fierce, her words were like a knife, and she pressed forward step by step, treating her as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Husband Xiao Jinghan hides alienation under his gentle facade. The cold reception and inexplicable misunderstandings after the wedding night made this marriage full of frost at the beginning.
In the deep courtyard, strange things happen one after another. The missing maid, the sobbing in the middle of the night, the dusty secret passage, the bizarre illness, all point to the ulterior secrets. She tried to prove her innocence and resolve the rift between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she repeatedly fell into a deeper trap, and every struggle resulted in more severe torture.
Liu Yuru's targeting was not without purpose, Xiao Jinghan's swaying hid an unspeakable secret, and deep in the Hou Mansion, there seemed to be secrets sleeping that could subvert everything. She struggled with the suspicion of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the estrangement between her husband and wife. She had to deal with open and secret attacks while also trying to find out the truth behind the fog.
When trust was crushed, love was eliminated, and the bloody truth gradually emerged, she discovered that she had been involved in a conspiracy that spanned many years. Is this deep house sadomasochism a trick of fate or a human calculation? Can she break through the desperate situation and find a glimmer of hope and true love?
