Mu Rulan came from humble beginnings, but thanks to the blessings of her ancestors and a stroke of fate, she once saved the life of the Zhao family's patriarch. Years later, someone arrived with a marriage contract to ask for her hand. The commoner Mu Rulan became a general's wife overnight.
On their wedding day, Zhao Qingxuan spoke to her coldly and distantly from behind her veil: "I'll give you the title of General's Wife and a lifetime of wealth and honor. Consider it repayment for your family's kindness in saving my life. From now on, we're even, and we'll stay out of each other's way."
Only later did she learn that Zhao Qingxuan had agreed to the marriage under pressure from his elders. A forced marriage was bitter and unpleasant. Mu Rulan held on to her position as his wife and watched helplessly as Zhao Qingxuan took a concubine and had a child.
One day, ten years later, Zhao Qingxuan was ambushed. Struck by a poisoned arrow, he fell into a lake. Seeing that things were going badly, his concubine shoved Mu Rulan into the water.
The last thing Zhao Qingxuan saw in this world was Mu Rulan desperately swimming toward him. He was overcome with regret, wishing he had treated her better while he was alive.
Mu Rulan desperately tried to grab the piece of wood behind Zhao Qingxuan, but halfway there he caught her hand. Furious, she swallowed a mouthful of water and kicked the bucket right alongside Zhao Qingxuan.
After being reborn, the first thing Zhao Qingxuan did was send someone to the Mu family to propose. But his mother took Mu Rulan by the hand and brought her before him, smiling as she said: "This is my newly adopted goddaughter, your god-sister."
Mu Rulan smiled sweetly and greeted him: "Greetings, Elder Brother."
