Shen Yuan happily married the powerful regent Gu Yanzhi, thinking that she was marrying the love of her childhood sweetheart. On their wedding night, over a glass of wine, he called another woman's name - "Ning'er". From then on, she became Bai Yueguang's stand-in. She stayed alone in the empty house for three years and suffered all the neglect and ridicule. When she finally gave up and faked her death to escape, he dug like crazy and cried like a child while holding the final letter she left behind: "Shen Yuan, please come back... I will never look for a substitute again."
