Shen Shuying is the most inconspicuous concubine of the Shen family.
All that her biological mother left to her was a fragmented book of incense books and an untimely sobriety.
On the day when her aunt broke her third tea cup, she was forced to marry into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for her aunt.
Outsiders envied her for marrying into a high position, but she knew that the prince's mansion had long been filled with gold and jade, but was in ruins.
The prince Xiao Yan is a well-known playboy in the capital.
On the wedding night, he only lifted his hijab and took a look: "She looks thinner than in the portrait."
Turn around and leave.
Shuying didn't cry or make trouble. When the warehouse of the Hou Mansion was bottomed out and the monthly money could not be paid out, she silently mixed a furnace of soothing incense.
As soon as the incense was burned, the old lady slept soundly, the servants behaved themselves, and everyone in the house looked at her for the first time.
But incense can calm the mind and identify people.
If the aunt's powdery qi is strong, it means a weak heart;
The stewardess has sandalwood mixed with her sleeves, which is because she is greedy for ink;
Xiao Yan's smell of alcohol was weak and the smell of ink was strong. He was investigating the death of his father.
But there was one page missing from the incense manual left by her mother.
There is a kind of incense written on that page, called "Spring Ember".
It is said that after burning this incense, even the most stubborn person will speak.
"Setting up fragrance is like being a human being. If you add more, it will be excessive, if you lack it, it will be thin. It all depends on the right balance."
Shuying thought that he was just extending his life for an empty palace.
Until Xiao Yan put the missing page of fragrance spectrum in front of her:
"Who did your mother adjust this furnace of spring embers for back then?"
She raised her eyes, smelled the faint smell of blood on his sleeves, and suddenly understood——
This marriage was never a prison for her alone.
