Jiutian Manju's original short play "Middle-aged Abandoned Wife, Second Marriage to an Emperor" is an officially authorized adaptation of the novel
In order to raise medical expenses for her daughter, Shen Qiuheng worked as a coolie when he was nearly 40 years old. However, she bumped into her husband, who had been married for eighteen years, accompanying a son to buy silk and satin, accompanied by her mother-in-law and a half-year-old boy. At that moment, Shen Qiuheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. She abandoned He Lishu and ran to the hospital in the rain carrying her sick daughter, but the emperor Xiao Jingheng, who had left the palace incognito, personally helped her onto the carriage and saved her daughter's life. Later, a marriage contract sent her to the throne of phoenix. She originally thought it was just a deal where everyone got what they wanted, but unexpectedly, this cold-faced emperor actually held her in the palm of his hand and doted on her.
