Shen Weiwan is the eldest legitimate daughter-in-law of the Yongning Marquis's household, gentle and quiet, in plain clothes with a serene heart.
Her husband dies on the battlefield. She weeps herself unconscious before his coffin, and when she wakes, all that remains is a three-year-old child at her knees and the chill of the inner household.
Her heart is like dead wood. She only wants to raise her young son in peace, paying no heed to outside affairs, seeking neither favor nor glory, and guarding the small world of her own home.
Fortunately, Heaven takes pity on her, and a pocket dimension appears in her mind. A spirit spring nourishes her, spiritual fields yield treasures, and rare curios and books abound.
At her side are her capable head maid, Zhishu, steady and dependable, who helps her manage affairs, and her little maid, Xier, innocent and lively, who brings a little warmth to her lonely life.
She hides the chance fortune of the pocket dimension and continues to seek neither favors nor glory, carrying herself with dignity.
She uses the spirit spring to keep her son healthy, spiritual materials to sustain herself, kindness to treat her servants, and silence to avoid conflict.
She takes no part in household schemes and seeks no power. She only guards the young child at her side and the peace of their little courtyard.
No matter how the Marquis's household changes, she remains content to keep a low profile and her blessings to herself.
With the fortune she has received, she protects herself and her son and lives as the most serene sight in the depths of the household.
