Grandmother Jia dies suddenly, and the Jia household teeters on the brink of collapse.
Lady Xing seizes the chaos to launch her attack. Vicious servants surround the estate, insiders collude with bandits, and armed men are already at the gate.
Everyone thinks Lin Daiyu is frail, sickly, and near death, an easy target for anyone to bully.
No one knows that her years bedridden with illness were part of a carefully planned poisoning scheme.
In this life, she will no longer let others control her. Beneath her sickly frame, she conceals a sharp edge. With a plan in her heart, she breaks through with open stratagems and determines the outcome with a secret letter.
Baoyu, once foolish and naive, finally comes to his senses. He abandons his playboy ways and takes up martial arts, his every sharp edge devoted to protecting her.
Faithful ministers and fierce generals stand by her side as well, protecting her with both words and arms. The court and the martial world alike have her back.
Those who framed her will be dealt with one by one. Those who betrayed her will pay the price. Those who bullied her will have it all returned to them.
Watch as the orphaned Daiyu, frail in body but wielding power, stirs up a storm in the court.
Together, this formidable pair defies fate and changes their destiny. In this life, the bond between wood and stone finally finds its happy ending.
