Shen Weiwan, the concubine of a merchant, was forced to send her mistress to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to celebrate the death of her eldest son, Xiao Jinghan, who was disabled in both legs. On their wedding night, she discerned from Xiao Jinghan's cold words that the death of her biological mother was related to the secrets of the Hou Mansion. Under the docile appearance, the seeds of revenge and exploration of the truth were quietly planted.
In the deep house of the Hou Mansion, there are thorns at every step: the old lady who hides a knife in her smile, the side branch who stares covetously, and Xiao Jinghan, who is in a wheelchair and has a violent temper but seems to know everything. Shen Weiwan restrained her edge, used "keeping oneself in peace" as a shield, and used the excuse of "serving an illness" to get close to Xiao Jinghan, dealing with his sometimes mean and sometimes probing attitude, secretly collecting clues.
She used the shrewdness of a businesswoman to take care of her husband and uncovered the insider; she used her extraordinary courage to resolve several plots against Xiao Jinghan, and gradually gained trust. When the two went from being wary of each other to trying to join forces, they discovered that the death of their biological mother was involved in an old case that shook the court ten years ago, and Xiao Jinghan's disability was not an accident.
Within the brocade tent, intrigue and emotion are intertwined. She is his happy bride and the sharp knife that breaks his situation; he is the obstacle to her revenge and the strength she has to rely on. When the truth is revealed like peeling off a cocoon, how can the two find a way to coexist in the whirlpool of family grudges and court?
