Shen Mingyu, the daughter-in-law of Dingbei Hou Mansion, always coughed while holding a medicine bowl.
Everyone regarded her as a weakling in the hands of her stepmother Fang - her embroidery room was poisoned, her engagement was cut off, and even the maid dared to spit in her tea.
But who would have thought that the ten years of pretending to be sick in the Buddhist hall would have made her see through the dirty things in the house: Fang's virtue was fake, her affair with her foreign husband was real; the concubine's arrogance was just a shell, hiding the powder that poisoned her.
The night when she took over the housekeeper's key, the old servant knelt at her feet holding the "Tang Lv Shu Yi" left by her biological mother: "Girl, it's time to settle the score." The moment the sickly legitimate daughter lifted her hijab, the bloody storm in the house had just begun.
