Yuan Yarong comes from a marquis's family with a military background. Following her parents' wishes, she marries the Earl's legitimate youngest son.
Her husband is a notorious womanizer in the capital. He dotes on his concubines and neglects his wife, while the women in his courtyard fight over his favor every day. Her mother-in-law blames her for failing to conceive. When she finally becomes pregnant, a concubine causes her to miscarry.
She endures one humiliation after another in this marriage, but in the end, it still ends in divorce.
When she returns to her family home, her grandmother scolds her for being useless, while her mother cries, rants, and berates herself for giving birth to such a troublemaker. Her family begins looking for another husband for her, and even her relatives urge the old madam to throw her out.

Unfortunately, her peaceful days don't last. After just a few years, her second uncle raises an army in rebellion. The entire Yuan family is implicated, and she is thrown into prison.
