In the Shen family in Jiangnan, on the day when the daughter-in-law Yun Heng was born, her aunt died suddenly. The Taoist priest ordered: "This woman will be reincarnated as a disaster star by denying her relatives."
She was abandoned in the countryside, grew up with a lot of contempt, and was shunned by everyone.
Only Xiao Jingxing, the concubine of the Northern Marquis Mansion, protected her like a jewel.
He taught her how to read, gave her a plum blossom hairpin, and protected her from all bullying.
There seemed to be an invisible thread pulling him towards her.
"When I achieve military success, I will marry you openly."
He did it. There is no red makeup in Shili, no phoenix guanxiapei, only a shabby room and two red candles.
But God won't even give you this moment of tenderness.
On the wedding night, there was an urgent call from the border. He was forced to go into battle and fell into the abyss to save his commander.
When the news of the death came back, white flags were hung high in the Hou Mansion.
Her mother-in-law forced her to remarry in order to cling to the powerful; her brother-in-law had coveted her for a long time and wanted to do something wrong.
Rather than obey, she was imprisoned in a woodshed and tortured for seven days.
Broken fingers, cold water, bad rice, insults... When the tenth finger was broken, she looked at the red plum outside the window.
In a daze, she seemed to see him tying flowers for her again, smiling and saying, "My Ah Heng is worthy of the best plum blossoms in the world."
With her last breath, she made a wish to the sky:
"I wish that my soul would fly away and I would never be reincarnated—in exchange for Xiao Jingxing, I would come back alive..."
