Su Wanqing, the legitimate daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, married into the Yongning Hou Mansion, which was heavily in debt and on the verge of collapse, with a marriage certificate, and became the stepmother of Yongning Hou Xiao Jingyuan.
Everyone said that she was willing to be humbled and spent thousands of gold to go to the ruined prince's family.
Only she had high hopes, spent all her generous dowry, and used the entire Jiangnan trade route to fill the deficit of the Marquis Mansion and open the way to the court for Xiao Jingyuan.
She took care of the inner house, planned money, defended him from countless open and secret arrows, gave birth to his legitimate son Xiao Nian'an, and personally raised her husband who was trapped in the mire to a high platform.
Xiao Jinyuan gradually lost power to the government and the opposition, and the Yongning Hou Mansion once again became famous in the capital.
But under the glory of being praised by the world, she, who was a merchant, became an indelible stain on Jamel Xiao's career.
Family status is like a sword, ambition is the edge.
The warmth of the past slowly dissipated, and what awaited her was endless cold treatment, friction and suspicion.
In the cold courtyard in late autumn, the lights are bleak.
In the year when Xiao Jinyuan was at his most prosperous, Su Wanqing fell seriously ill and closed her eyes in loneliness.
Only his young son and a joke that consumed half his life were left behind.
Later, Xiao Jingyuan held thousands of miles of power and was at the top of the world.
Guarding a prosperous prince's mansion in the sky, sleepless nights year after year.
He won the world and lost forever the woman who spent all his money to pull him out of despair.
