As soon as the wedding sedan arrived at the Marquis Mansion, the groom died on a snowy night before he came to the wedding hall. The concubine Shen Jianwei could not return to the Shen family, nor could she be an outsider at the Dingbei Hou Mansion. She could only rely on a funeral and an unfinished status to save herself step by step in the mourning hall, family banquets and ancestral halls. Missing pages from old accounts, people coming from Shuozhou, five hundred taels of medicinal silver, and a hidden paper box gradually raised suspicions about the death of the head of the house. The step-wife and the clan used etiquette to pressure her to bow her head, but she followed the rules to find evidence, seize the position, and leave a backup plan. Xie Xingjian, the second master of the Xie family, was calm and restrained. He only followed the procedures and did not accept her fate. Between temptation and conspiracy, the two of them unraveled Hou Men's old case while fighting for their names.
Intention: People who are trapped by etiquette and law can also use etiquette and law to save themselves; a woman is not a sum in someone's account, she can also fight for her own name, dignity and choice in the storm of high society.
