Shen Weiwan, who had a doctorate in ancient medicine and history, died suddenly due to an archaeological accident. After being reborn, she became the bullied concubine of Dayin Shangshu Mansion. The eldest sister avoided marriage, so she was forced to become a pawn. She went to the Zhenguo Palace in her place to celebrate the death of the eldest son Xie Yunci, who was rumored to have disabled legs, lingered on the bed, and would not live to be twenty-five years old. She became a living sacrifice despised by everyone.
When a flash flood broke out on the way to send her relatives off, she was misjudged to be dead by her servants. She was hastily put into a thin coffin and buried, leaving her in a desperate situation. In the dark coffin, she broke the coffin with a hairpin to save herself, and narrowly escaped death on a desolate road in troubled times.
