After transmigrating as the new wife of a young marshal in Republican-era China, Gu Mingzhu planned to save up enough money to divorce him and start a business. But then her wedding dress was auctioned off and advertised in the papers, her allowance was cut off, and her shop was shut down. At every turn, she was walking into a trap. Her driver was a Japanese spy, her so-called friend wanted to use her to get revenge on the young marshal, and even the old woman who worked for her was secretly selling information about her whereabouts. Finally seeing the truth, she stopped pretending to be meek and dragged everyone who tried to control her straight into the deadly trap she'd laid for them.
