Shen Zhiyi, the most inconspicuous concubine in the Shen family, was harshly treated by her aunt and bullied by her sisters, but she secretly kept a low profile and vowed to break free from the shackles of fate. A lantern at the Lantern Festival led her to encounter Xie Wuwu, a cold-faced and powerful official who dominated the government. He originally wanted to watch a good show, but was deeply attracted by her intelligence and courage. When her aunt designed her to be betrothed to a cruel old man, Xie Wuwu proposed marriage in a thunderous way, shocking the capital. On her wedding night, Shen Zhiyi was very nervous, but what she got in exchange was his gentle promise: "You don't have to be afraid of me, I will protect you forever." From then on, she established her authority in the Xie Mansion, outsmarted her aunt, calmly dealt with the undercurrents in the court, and transformed from a concubine despised by everyone to a powerful regent.
This is a story about love and inheritance. The concubine returns, the powerful minister is so fragrant, and the legend will never end.
