Yu Xining was originally the eldest daughter of the Yu family, the most aristocratic family in the world. She was assassinated while outing and was rescued by the family of Zheng Hongzhi, the Minister of Punishment of the State of Zhao. She lost her memory and had injuries on her face. After searching for her relatives to no avail, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by the Zheng family.
Zheng Shuyao, the only daughter of the Zheng family, died of tuberculosis. However, her marriage to the third prince Lu Jing was about to happen. In order to repay her kindness, Gu Xining agreed to marry the Zheng family.
After the marriage, Lu Jing treated her concubine Xining very well and took care of her food and clothing. She thought her life would just go on like this.
However, an imperial edict from the emperor broke this peace. At that time, Xining had just given birth to twins, a girl and a boy, and they were not yet pregnant.
After learning that all the Zheng family except herself were executed for Zheng Hongzhi's corruption charges, Yu Xi knew that Zheng Hongzhi was an upright official and wanted to seek justice. She ran to question Lu Jing, but was ordered to be grounded.
She quietly escaped while Lu Jing was not in the house. When she turned around, she met the Yu family's caravan. The fourth elder who led them recognized her and took her back to Lingzhou.
After four years of separation, the two have changed again. Yu Xining's injuries were cured by her clan members, and she regained her memory. She succeeded her mother as the clan leader, and her status was so noble that even the emperors of various countries had to show courtesy.
At the palace banquet where they reunited, His Royal Highness King Yi, who had always been dignified and arrogant, showed a humble attitude. On the third day, news came out that King Yi was going to marry into the family. The courtiers blocked it one after another, but they saw Lu Jing coming out of Yanying Hall in high spirits with the imperial edict in hand.
"Ning'er, I've already calculated the inheritance. When will we get married?"
"Who said I'm going to marry you? I'm just here to pick up the children and go back to recognize my ancestors."
"Then the child's father should also recognize his ancestor and return to his clan."
