Jiang Yuman is a concubine-born daughter of the family. Though stunningly beautiful, she's a good-for-nothing who can't be helped.
She's no good at studying, embroidery, or chess. Every day, all she does is pet cats, gossip, and watch the fun.
This good-for-nothing somehow ends up marrying into the Duke's household and becoming Xie Wuluan's wife.
Xie Wuluan is refined, dignified, and peerlessly handsome. Everyone says Jiang Yuman is not good enough for him, and Xie Wuluan thinks so too.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuman is obedient and keeps to herself, so he often spends the night in her room.
Then one day, Xie Wuluan is drinking at a restaurant, gazing out the window.
He sees the newly crowned top scholar riding a tall horse through the streets. His little wife, who normally can't even be bothered to get out of bed, is gazing longingly at the scholar, her eyes full of affection, so tender they seem ready to drip with longing.
Xie Wuluan's expression darkens as he crushes the cup in his hand.
