Shen Yunsu, the daughter of a fourth-ranking imperial official, was reborn and returned to the third year of her widowhood for her late husband. With her whole family convicted and her only brother in jail, she had no choice but to beg her mother-in-law, but she only received a harsh and humiliating sentence of "you bring it upon yourself". In a desperate situation, she turned her attention to the person who should not be provoked the most in the house - her late husband's third uncle, the hussar general who held a large number of troops and had overwhelming power, Lu Shiyan.
In order to save his family, Shen Yunsu hid all his sharpness, used his body as bait, knocked on the door of his study room stained with blood, and bet on a deal where everyone gets what they need. She knew that he needed a chess piece to disrupt the palace, and he also needed a "stain" to block the princess's proposed marriage. She thought that after the matter was completed, she would be able to get her money back and retreat. Who knows, just when she really thought everything was settled, that ascetic and ruthless man tore up the "contract" she thought she had.
On a rainy night, Lu Shiyan pressed her against the window. There was paranoia and madness in his eyes that she couldn't understand. His hot breath brushed his ears, and his voice was hoarse: "Su Su, you have fallen into my trap, and you still want to escape completely?" He declared to the whole house in the most unquestionable manner: "From now on, she is mine."
Shen Yunsu was confused. Where was the agreed deal? What about not being a womanizer? She had been calculating every step of her life, calculating all the people's hearts, but she never expected that she would transform from a chess piece to the powerful minister's only weakness and heartthrob.
