During the Xiande period of the Yan Dynasty, Su Weiwan, the legitimate daughter of the Su Mansion in Jiangnan, was gentle and elegant, with both talent and beauty. She thought she was a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, and she had strictly followed her duties as a legitimate daughter since she was a child. However, on the eve of her haircut, she discovered that there were doubts about her life experience - the jade pendant she wore was not a token of her legitimate daughter, her mother's eyes hid pain, and the old servant in the mansion hesitated to speak.
A marriage contract married her into the prince's mansion, but what awaited her was the mother-in-law's difficulties, her sisters-in-law's strife, and the rumored unruly husband Gu Yanchen. The house is deep, she uses retreat to advance, uses softness to overcome strength, and establishes a firm foothold in the turbulent inner house, while secretly exploring the mystery of her life experience.
When the truth comes to light, she is not the legitimate daughter, but the daughter of a loyal servant who was killed by Li Daotao; when the court feud spreads to the family, when the marriage contract becomes a conspiracy, when trust and betrayal are intertwined... Su Weiwan chooses to use the name "Su Weiwan" instead of the legitimate concubine to protect the people she loves and break the shackles of the family.
This is a game about identity and true self, power and true love. Under the brocade curtain, there is no born noble girl, only souls who do not want to be defined by fate.
