On the wedding day, Lu Zhaotang found out that his concubine Lu Mingzhu secretly changed the sedan chair. The son of the Chief of the Jin Palace who she was originally going to marry became her sister's husband-in-law, and she was sent to the Zhenbei Hou's Palace, which had just been convicted, and became the wife of the eldest son Xie Linyuan. Before the wedding candle was extinguished, the imperial guards who ransacked the house had already entered.
Everyone was waiting for Lu Zhaotang to cry and beg to leave, but she found an impossible military ration figure from the house search list, and used her dowry to replace the cold-warming supplies for the Xie family's old and young children. She didn't stay because of love, but she discovered that the fake account that framed the Xie family came from the same hand as the half-page leftover account that her mother gave her before she died. On the three-thousand-mile exile road, she guaranteed people, raised food, set up accounts, and broke up troubles; after arriving in the north, she started from a dilapidated inn, organized military family members, widows, and refugees to build warehouses to restart the interrupted trade routes. Xie Linyuan changed from a cold-blooded prince who just wanted to clean up his family to a companion who was willing to leave the choice to her. When the two finally fought their way back to the capital, they discovered that the real enemy was not a vicious family member, but a web of interests fed by famine, war, and suspicion of imperial power. Lu Zhaotang must decide: use evidence to exchange for the safety of the Lu family, or let a set of old accounts of cannibalism be completely exposed in front of the world.
