On the night Wang Xifeng gives birth to a daughter, she has a long, vivid dream.
In the dream, she transforms from a sheltered wife who can barely hide her fear at the mention of death into a ruthless, venomous woman who orders people killed without batting an eye.
She works herself to the bone for the Rongguo Mansion, only to fall ill and pave the way for someone else, ending up divorced and dying of sickness.
Every evil deed she committed brings retribution upon her and her daughter...
After waking, Wang Xifeng no longer covets the Rongguo Mansion's wealth and power. She gives up her household duties and devotes herself to caring for her daughter and building up her dowry, so her Qiaojie will have a way out.
As for Jia Lian, she decides to let that good-for-nothing go off with all his filthy old habits. She doesn't want him anymore.
But Wang Xifeng soon realizes that Jia Lian seems to have been possessed by a wild ghost.
He dismisses the pretty young servants at his side, stops chasing women, and even wants to abandon the affairs of the household and join the army...
Years later, Jia Lian never inherits a title, yet she still becomes a general's wife.
P.S. The male lead transmigrates from a fictional world.
