After the Shen family falls on hard times, Shen Yihan takes her young brother to seek refuge with her aunt, who married into the Ningyuan Earl's household. They live in the Earl's manor for three years, while rumors swirl through the residence.
They say she's born with a bewitching beauty and a naturally seductive air. At nineteen, she still hasn't been betrothed. Clearly, she's waiting for her ailing aunt to let her guard down so she can seduce her uncle by marriage and climb into the Earl's household.
She knows she's living under someone else's roof, so she is careful and never casually ventures beyond the rear courtyard.
That day, with her aunt gravely ill, she goes to the outer courtyard to ask her uncle by marriage to come see her.
But once there, she sees the one person she never wanted to meet again. Fortunately, after they cross paths several times, he seems not to recognize her at all, treating her with distant indifference.
Outside the study, snow drifts down, turning the beautiful courtyard into a picture painted in white.
Shen Yihan's lashes flutter. She whispers, "Uncle..."
The man before her lowers his eyes and remains silent for a long while. Then he gives a cool, faint smile. "Three years ago, you didn't call me that."
His words strike her like a blizzard, and a sudden wave of terror leaves her mind blank as memories of the past come rushing back.
Three years ago, to save herself, she gave herself to the deputy chief of the Kekenaer tribe.
She knocked over the candle in the man's tent with her own hands, then watched as the flames consumed it. No one survived.
But she never imagined that the man who should have burned to ashes was still alive. Not only that, he had become the eldest son of the Ningyuan Earl's household,
and the celebrated General Rongcheng who had crushed the Kekenaer tribe and won glorious military victories.
