Liu Qing'er, daughter of a physician in the prefectural residence, was separated from her family at the age of nine after a sudden upheaval. Alone, she traveled from place to place before finally making her way to the capital. By a twist of fate, she found a home at Chunhui House. From then on, she changed her name and lived as Liu Meier.
As fate would have it, she caught the eye of the young heir of a general's household, who married her into his residence as a concubine. She thought she would finally be able to live in peace, but the household was rife with conflict between wives and concubines. Li Wen'er, the heir's principal wife, was consumed by jealousy and repeatedly tried to poison and kill her in secret.
Having seen through the wickedness of human nature and the hypocrisy of those closest to her, Liu Meier stopped meekly backing down and enduring it all. She resolved to fight back and plot her revenge, determined to wash away her pain.
Amid her tribulations, opportunities lay hidden. One strange encounter after another gave her the chance to change her identity and transform herself completely. Breaking free of her past and escaping her lowly circumstances, the once-drifting orphan girl was reborn and embarked on an entirely new life.
