Ever since Jin Qimei married the warlord Gu Yanchang, not a day has gone smoothly. As Madam Gu, she spends her days lazily fiddling with her copper pipe, watching the old madams, maiden aunts, and concubines of the Gu residence make trouble. She acts as if nothing concerns her, but secretly wishes she could knock them all unconscious with her pipe and dump them in the remote mountain hollow where Gu Yanchang is stationed.
Then she gave birth to the young master, and this wife, so listless she could barely be bothered to eat, suddenly found the energy to stir up trouble. When the Gu household needed a wet nurse, Jin Qimei picked up her pipe and started smoking again, making the most of this tiny patch of power and savoring the long-lost pleasure of calling the shots in her own little corner.
Then the matchmaker sent over He Qin'er, the wet nurse. He Qin'er was quiet and gave no one a thing to criticize. Yet looking at her only made Jin Qimei angrier. They had both given birth, but He Qin'er's waist was still so slender and her braid still so thick. Jin Qimei couldn't help feeling intensely jealous.
But as the days passed, that jealousy gradually began to change.
