Jiang Ni was born in the mud and was the lowest-ranking sweeping maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because her appearance was similar to the eldest lady who had been missing for many years, she was pushed out by the housekeeper and married into the Marquis' Mansion. She doesn't know how to play chess, calligraphy or painting, and doesn't understand rules and etiquette. She can only struggle to survive in the mud. Everyone is waiting to see this fake lotus wither, but she insists on taking root in the mud, making the entire pond of clear water muddy for her sake. From the cold stove in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion to the storm above the court, she used a pair of hands that could not wash away the dirt to earn a way for herself inch by inch in this cannibalistic world. This is not a fairy tale about a lotus flower, but a story about a woman in the mire and her roots deep into the depths of hell.
