In her previous life, Shen Weiwan, the capital's most talented woman, poured the Shen family's wealth into helping her husband, Gu Yanshen, rise to the position of Imperial Tutor. In return, she received the cruelest betrayal: she was forced to swallow a drug that left her mute and accused of adultery. She watched as her three-year-old son, Nian'an, was pushed into a dry well, and the entire Shen family was executed!
