Yu Jinqian is the legitimate eldest daughter of the prime minister's Hua family. She knows that her love of martial arts and dislike of literature are at odds with the atmosphere at home, but she never imagined that one day she would learn she wasn't a Hua at all.
She was accompanying her mother to pray at a temple when she met a girl from the Yu family who looked just like her mother. After they investigated, Yu Jinqian became a Yu family girl.
She thought her new family might merely treat her politely. She never expected such a warm welcome: her father stuffed her full of food.
At first, getting along was awkward, but then she discovered that her two older brothers shared her interests, and even her bad habits.
The friends she thought would drift away stayed by her side. But one of them, her childhood friend Xia Chengyu, began looking at her in a way that grew increasingly strange.
If she didn't know her life was actually going pretty well, Yu Jinqian might have thought from his gaze that she'd lost everything overnight and become a beggar beneath the city walls.
Xia Chengyu couldn't remember when it started, but he had been dreaming for a long time. The dreams were hazy, yet his childhood friend Jinqian was always in them.
In the dreams, her status was first downgraded, and she became a girl from the Yu family. Then the Crown Prince broke off their engagement, leaving no one daring to come ask for her hand.
Her father and brothers died on the battlefield, and her grandmother died of grief, leaving her alone in the capital.
Then someone framed her, ruining her reputation, and she was brought into a household as a concubine.
In the latest dream, she failed to save her child and was thrown out of the household. Forced to beg on the streets, she eventually froze to death in the bitter winter.
The dream scared Xia Chengyu awake. He cried out that it was simply too tragic.
As her childhood friend, he felt that now he knew how miserable her life would become, he had a duty to pull her back from the edge of the abyss.
