The Hongwu turmoil is turbulent, the war of peace is rising, and the Tang family, the founder of the country, is deeply involved in the whirlpool of imperial power liquidation, and every move is in danger of life and death.
Meng Chuxia, the daughter of a Confucian doctor from a poor family, bore the old debt of saving her life from her father and was ordered to marry into the Tang family and became the official wife of Tang Ming'an, the second son of the Tang family. She was born with an exquisite beauty, gentleness and dazzling beauty. She was a stunning beauty who moved people's hearts at first sight, but she had a calm, transparent, and reserved character. He had a straight body, a gentle face, and the demeanor of a gentleman from an aristocratic family. His brows and eyes were full of alienation and forbearance that could see through the current situation. All he wanted for half his life was to protect the stability of the Tang family.
A contractual marriage that began with trade-offs tightly bound the fate of two people. There is an undercurrent of trouble in the inner house, clan covetousness, murderous plots for power in the court, and the five sons of the Tang family are in trouble one after another. The once prosperous Duke's mansion has suddenly fallen into turmoil.
She gave up her forbearance when she first entered the Hou family, and took charge of the Tang family as a woman, stabilizing the house, settling disputes, guarding the bottom line, and supporting the Tang family in troubled times; he gathered all the sharpness to avoid the world, and turned from a cold young man who only took care of himself. He became the pillar of the family, secretly maneuvering, step by step, to protect her safety and security throughout her life.
From the alienation of treating each other as guests, to the deep love that goes in both directions, after half a lifetime of ups and downs, and full of sorrows and joys, the two of them have never changed their original intentions. In troubled times, power and wealth are all gone. Only togetherness and goodwill can break through the cold winter, and finally keep the bright spring warm and the family safe year after year.
