During the Republic of China, Su Wanqing, the legitimate daughter of a scholarly family in Suling, Jiangnan, married Gu Yanchen, a scholar from a poor family in Yunzhou, with a rich dowry as a young promise. For ten years she took care of the housework, served her mother-in-law, and accompanied him from a low life to a decent life, but what she got in return was that after her husband became rich, he became unkind, spoiled his concubines, and destroyed his wife. The concubine Ding Lingyue was hypocritical and provocative, her mother-in-law was mean and difficult, and Gu Yanchen's indifference and public humiliation pushed her into the abyss. She was pregnant with a child but lost her flesh and blood in the snow, and was unable to conceive for the rest of her life. After ten years of love, she was just a substitute for Bai Yueguang in Gu Yanchen's heart. Su Wanqing's hair was cut off on a rainy night, and Su Wanqing completely cut off her love. She was domineering and reconciled, and returned to Su Ling to regain herself. After losing everything, Gu Yanchen suddenly woke up and left everything behind to pursue his wife thousands of miles away. He knelt down and cried bitterly, begging her to come back, but Su Wanqing only left a strange word. This is a long awakening song of the nirvana of the legitimate wife, a belated cremation of chasing his wife. She does not hate, complain, or look back, but only lives her most independent and dazzling self.
