Lin Wantang thought she was the happiest woman in the world. She married into the Su family, a well-known silk family in Suzhou, and her husband Su Yanting doted on her - not letting her worry about anything, not letting her suffer the slightest grievance. It wasn't until he arranged a way out for her on the hospital bed that she realized that she didn't understand anything: she couldn't read the account books, couldn't recognize all the servants, and couldn't even organize her husband's funeral.
Fortunately he left behind a butler.
Shen Du wears a silver mask with the left side of his face destroyed. He is silent and does everything he does. He knew how to mix incense, could detect errors in accounts, and silently blocked her husband's family's schemes when she was most alone. She gradually found that the figure of this man looked familiar, and the scent on his body was exactly the same as that of an old friend from her childhood.
He was her long-lost childhood sweetheart. The Shen family was wrongfully confiscated, and he crawled back from exile to rebuild the family's fragrant medicine industry incognito. Su Yanting's conditions for recruiting a housekeeper - "ugly, reliable, and loyal" - seemed like an opportunity tailor-made for him. When he came, he just wanted to keep her safe and didn't dare to ask for more.
But Su Yanting didn't really leave. His soul was trapped in the jade pendant, hanging in front of his bed every night, watching the person he personally selected enter his wife's heart little by little. He is angry, jealous, and unwilling - he is not going to let go, no matter what the cost.
One is the deceased husband whom he loved deeply during his lifetime, and the other is an old friend whom he reunited with. And she is not the prize, she is the one who has to make the choice.
