Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of Jiangnan, devoted ten years of her life and dowry to help her husband, Xiao Jingyuan, rise from a down-and-out young man to the position of Marquis of Jing'an. She abides by her duties as a wife, manages the household well, and respects her mother-in-law, but she cannot resist the soft-spoken calculations of her doting concubine Su Lianyue, and in exchange she gets the reputation of being "jealous and tyrannical" and being treated poorly like "the one who spoils her concubine and destroys her wife."
On the tenth anniversary of their wedding, she was forced to kneel on her knees for a night in the wind and snow by her husband because of a pearl hairpin given to her by the royal family. When she was dying of fever, she still heard his words of "pretentiousness and self-inflicted pain." Ten years of deep love eventually turned into a joke; ten years of hard work turned into dust.
Heartbroken, she stopped being humble and forbearing, cut off the wrong love, and tore apart the cage of the Hou Mansion. Relying on the wisdom of ten years of running a house and the benevolence of a doctor, he regained his own honor step by step, cleared out the traitors in the house, and let the scumbags and bitches reap the consequences.
On the road to rebirth, she no longer bows to love, but lives as her own light. By chance, she meets Lu Shiyan, a military doctor who is as gentle as jade and understands her and loves her. The two get to know each other through the wind and rain, and heal in both directions. He saw that her body was covered with scars, but he still gave her full of preference; she understood that he cared about the common people and wanted to maintain peace together.
This is an awakening from ten years of mispayment and a rebirth of living for love. Watch how Shen Qingci emerges from the cocoon and becomes a butterfly, counterattacks from the abandoned wife of the Hou Mansion to a winner in life, protects her heart in troubled times, finds a good match, protects the ones she loves, and lives a true "Ember Moon Return to Peace".
