Shen Qingyin, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, was once a stunning beauty who was envied by everyone in the capital. She could play chess, calligraphy, and painting, and captivate the whole city with her dancing. Once her father was convicted, the family fell into decline, and the former noble girl became a dance teacher, with a proud and unshakable appearance.
When she was teaching the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo, she met the eldest son Shangguan Yan unexpectedly. He had a startling glance, and his love was deeply rooted, and he got closer step by step, but he was trapped by his family background, hesitated repeatedly, and was stingy with his sincerity.
Deep love is no match for suspicion, and status is hard to overcome. The vicious stepmother wanted to sell her into the Jinling Pavilion, a land of dust; the sweetheart looked coldly on her and pushed her into the abyss three times. At a time of despair, her life experience took a shocking turn - she was not from the Shen family!
Heartbroken, she resigned herself to the world and accepted guests.
When Shangguan Yan saw her falling into the quagmire with his own eyes, he was heartbroken and resolutely abandoned his palace and title. He knelt down and begged her to turn back.
But in the Jinling Pavilion, layers of fog were lifted, and her true identity was actually the legitimate daughter of Prince Ning who was living among the people...
With her pride shattered and half her life filled with love and hate, when the dust has settled, can she regain her original intention and live a happy life with him?
