In the winter of the 23rd year of Yongchang's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Bai Jingyu, the daughter-in-law of the Zhenguo Palace, breathed her last in a dry well in the cold palace. She was once a proud daughter of heaven, but because of her mistaken belief in the hypocrisy of her stepmother and concubine, she was designed to marry the ambitious seventh prince as a concubine. After her marriage, she spent all her mother's family's financial resources to help her seize the legitimate heir, but what she got in return was that after her husband ascended the throne, he was exterminated and the entire Bai family was slaughtered. And she was accused of witchcraft, suffered humiliation in the cold palace, and was pushed into a well by her concubine Bai Zhilan. On her deathbed, she learned that the source of all the conspiracies actually stemmed from the mysterious death of Qin Wangchuan, the ancestor of the Qin family, when the Bai and Qin families were competing for "Jiangnan Salt" fifty years ago, and the tampered will that caused the two families to be enemies for generations. She hated herself for being blind and blind, hated her enemies for being carefree, and even more hated the Qin family's legitimate daughter who was destined to be her enemy due to ancestral grudges, but who had handed her a bowl of hot porridge when she was at her lowest - Qin Zhixia.
