She was a country girl from a mountain village, ordinary, kindhearted, and full of a sense of justice. After standing up for someone on her way home from a late shift, she was killed.
When she woke again, she was a princess consort, but her husband had shut her away, imprisoned her, divorced her, and cast her out.
After leaving with nothing, she discovered she was pregnant. She planned to live a quiet life among the mountains and rivers, but one day her peace was shattered when her former husband barged in and forcibly took her back to the prince’s manor.

“This time, you win,” said Dongfang Minghao.
“Of course I do. It took a lot of effort to convince Liu Xue’er to go along with my plan.”
“Are you sure you haven’t fallen in love with her?”
“Me, fall in love with her? Never. A bet is a bet. I’ve already spoken to the madam at the Wanhua Brothel. The moment she gives birth, her truly miserable life will begin...”
Outside the door, she quietly left, heartbroken.
After giving birth, she planned to escape her former husband’s control by putting a scheme into action along the way. But she was captured by bandits in league with Concubine Liu. To save herself, with nowhere else to turn, she had no choice but to leap into a black hole. People said it was the gateway to the underworld, a door of death.

“Xuan’er, so you’re still alive...” the handsome man by the lake said, delighted.
“Damn right I’m alive! You’re the one who’s dead, you idiot. It’s New Year’s, and you dare curse me? Evil! He cursed me! Beat him up!” she said angrily to the man beside her, who gazed at her with indulgent affection. She had lost her memory.
In an instant, the handsome man looked like a giant panda and was tossed into the lake, soaked to the skin. Meanwhile, she happily leaned against the man called Xie, letting him carry her away from the lakeside with a carefree elegance.
On a bustling street, a peerlessly handsome man looked like a nanny. He carried a little girl on his back, held a little boy in his left arm, and held the hand of another boy who looked thoroughly displeased with the situation. The handsome man approached a woman as beautiful as a goddess, his face full of tender anguish, and pleaded:
“My lady, you don’t remember me? These are our children. Please don’t leave us. If you go, how will the four of us get by?”
Faced with her former husband’s desperate pleas and their three children, should she reconcile and take him back, or choose the man who gave her everything without asking for anything in return and treasured her above all else?
