Lin, the fourth concubine of Zhizao Mansion in Hangzhou, not only lost her mother when she was young, but was also neglected by her aunt and framed by her aunt, struggling to survive in the cracks. She does not have the divine perspective of a time traveler, nor does she have any personal space. She can only rely on the meager protection of her grandmother to learn to hide her stupidity and keep a low profile.
At first, she just pretended to be stupid in order to survive in this cannibalistic back house. No matter she faced the difficulties from her eldest sister or the indifference of her father, she always accepted them. As she grew older, Lin was not only involved in the whirlpool of family marriages, she had to start to fight back, taking advantage of the complex family relationship network and human weakness, and quietly solved the stepmother's forces who tried to "sell" her to the playboy.
After getting married, she married into the Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the capital. Faced with the more complicated disputes between sisters-in-law, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the reflection of the turbulence in the court on the inner house, she fought side by side with her husband who seemed to be a playboy but was actually serious. Lin not only used her life wisdom to straighten out the family tradition and eliminate internal thieves, but in the end not only won the respect and deep love of her husband, but also earned herself the honor of the royal wife, realizing the transformation from a dependent vine to a wind-proof tree.
