[Blurb]
Her husband, with whom she had vowed to spend her life, died suddenly, leaving Xin Shiyun a widow.
On the third day after his coffin was buried, Xin Shiyun remarried her childhood friend, carrying her unborn child with her.
Her mother-in-law treated her cruelly, accusing her of using her charms to seduce her childhood friend.
Her sisters-in-law turned against her, cursing her as a bringer of misfortune who had caused her husband's death.
Living under someone else's roof, Xin Shiyun went to her dead husband's grave every night, weeping bitterly with tears streaming down her face.
Before she lost consciousness, Xin Shiyun always felt a pair of hands stroking the back of her neck and her earlobes.
Then the next day, she would wake up at the residence again.
Xin Shiyun was terrified. Had her dead husband come back to life?!

Lord Qi had been visiting the residence often lately, and Meng Zhuoqing frequently drank with him.
When Xin Shiyun occasionally saw him, she noticed his gaze would drift over her, seemingly by chance, before settling on her belly.
At first, Xin Shiyun thought she was being suspicious and had misread him.
Until one day, behind the ornamental rockery
Qi Shaowei wrapped his arms tightly around her from behind, rubbing her swollen belly with his palm and behaving with shameless impropriety.
Furious, Xin Shiyun trembled from head to toe. She turned and sank her teeth into his misbehaving arm, then fled in panic, never seeing the amusement and indulgence in the man's eyes.
Qi Shaowei chuckled. "The rabbit has learned to bite."

The day the Meng residence was confiscated happened to be the day Xin Shiyun went into labor.
Everyone watched as Xi Ying, Commander of the Surveillance Bureau, hurried into the bedchamber and gathered Xin Shiyun protectively in his arms.
His icy gaze swept over each member of the Meng family, making them shrink back for no reason.
"Everything you have done to my wife, I, Xi Ying, will repay in full one day."
Everyone in the Meng residence was instantly filled with fear and regret.
When had Xin Shiyun gotten involved with Xi Ying?! Why had their Meng family gone and provoked this very demon of a man?!
