In her previous life, Shen Nian was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she fell in love with Gu Yunchen who came from a poor family at first sight. She accompanied him through the most difficult ten years - when he was looked down upon, she blocked rumors for him; when he failed in the imperial examination, she secretly stuffed him with money; when he was framed and imprisoned, she knelt in the snow for three days and nights begging her father to save him.
Later he became the most powerful chief minister in the world and married the princess. She only asked for a status, and he said, "You should be sensible."
She got it. She turned around and left, dying alone in a small courtyard outside the city. The last words he heard before he died were - he sent someone to ask: "Does she still have the letter I wrote in her hand? Take it back so that it will not be confirmed."
When she woke up again, the first thing she did was to burn the box of letters that she had treasured for ten years.
