Yan Shi is a high-born young lady renowned throughout the capital, with a steady stream of suitors coming to ask for her hand.

Just before marriage negotiations begin, the Yan family is struck by disaster. Overnight, Yan Shi falls into ruin and becomes the daughter of a disgraced official.

The young noblemen who once sought her hand try to take advantage of the situation and make her a concubine. Everyone waits to laugh as the fallen beauty's brilliance is covered in dust.

But Yan Shi remains composed and dignified, and turns around to marry into the marquis's estate.

Only then do people remember that, years ago, the Yan family's young lady and Xie Qingheng, heir to the marquis, had been engaged.

That peerless young heir, however, was buried in a foreign land at the age of eighteen and has long since returned to dust.

Xie Qingheng made a name for himself as a youth. Dashing and spirited, he was the dream man of countless young women. But he was cruelly ambushed and endured terrible suffering.

He escaped death, clawed his way out of a sinister hell, and returned to the capital under a new identity, swearing to exact revenge.

But he never imagined that after coming back from the dead, he would somehow find himself with a new wife.

Xie Qingheng: ...?

Yan Shi married the memorial tablet of Xie Qingheng, hoping to rely on the Xie family's protection to keep her family safe and clear her father and elder brother's names.

She never imagined that the dead would one day return...
