Tong Xiaoliu is a beggar whom everyone looks down on. At sixteen, she happens to save a marquise's wife, who kindly accepts her as a goddaughter. She becomes the whole household's darling.

But her adoptive brother Ji Han, a Vice Minister of Justice, is the only one who doesn't like her.

The first time they meet, Ji Han's icy gaze makes her tremble.

The second time, Ji Han refuses to acknowledge her as his sister and treats her as if she doesn't exist.

The third time, Ji Han tells her, in no uncertain terms, that pickpockets who get caught end up in prison. Terrified, she flees in the middle of the night, only for Ji Han to catch her in the act and slowly corner her against a wall.

Everyone in the capital says that Ji Han, as a Vice Minister of Justice, is upright and impartial, stern and incorruptible, and brilliant at solving cases. He's practically Bao Zheng reborn.

But at some point, "Mother likes that girl best" becomes nothing more than a flimsy excuse for Ji Han's unreasonable defense of his adoptive sister.

Watching his adoptive sister stubbornly fight back tears, Ji Han's heart aches. He steps forward and wipes the tear from the corner of her eye. "I must have sinned in my last life, and now I'm paying for it." He can't bear to see his adoptive sister cry.

After soothing the beauty in his arms, Ji Han leaves the residence and gives the people who've been gossiping behind her back a thorough dressing-down.

If he sinned in his previous life, then he's more than happy to pamper this sin of his, his adoptive sister.

In her previous life, Zhen Ruofu was timid and weak, disliked strangers, and had no mind of her own.

She followed her parents' arrangements and married Xiao Jiuling, an idle playboy who was notorious in the capital.

Zhen Ruofu thought this marriage would be the end of her. But when Xiao Jiuling lifted her veil, he became the only warmth in her heart.

After their wedding, she always put her husband first. That rigid adherence to convention led to Xiao Jiuling divorcing her with a letter of repudiation.

With her husband gone, her family considered her bad luck and refused to take her back. In the end, she froze to death.

Reborn into another life, Zhen Ruofu sees things clearly and is no longer timid and weak.

First: She will divorce Xiao Jiuling.

Second: She will make her own living and carve out a place for herself.

Third: She will repay the man who saved her life in the snow.

Later, Zhen Ruofu never could have guessed that the husband she used as a shield was the very man she owed her life to.

A little scene:

Zhen Ruofu is held in the arms of her frail, delicate husband. A coaxing murmur sounds in her ear: "I heard you want to repay me. How about giving yourself to me?" Bewitched, Zhen Ruofu obediently nods.

Theme: If he sinned in his previous life, then he's more than happy to pamper this sin of his, his adoptive sister.
