Synopsis

In her previous life, Wei Zi was betrayed and killed by her husband and his parents.

In this life, Wei Zi resolved to live for herself: learning to read and write, doing business and earning money, while also raising and properly guiding her husband's family's neglected gisaeng-born son, Xiao Fengxian, who would one day become the most brutal and arrogant grand chancellor in the court.

Years later, Wei Zi was reunited with her ancestral family and became the eldest daughter of a Duke's residence, a woman her husband and his parents could never hope to reach.

The noble ladies throughout the capital spread rumors that she was too old to marry.

Yet the powerful new favorite of the court bent down and personally brushed the dust from her shoes. Before thousands of people, he asked for her hand: "Miss, would you marry me?"

He was the young man she had raised with her own hands.

He was also the treasure at the center of her heart.

Everyone said a woman's second marriage was the hardest, but that year Wei Zi married for the second time, to a young prince who had been made a marquis and chancellor at the age of eighteen!
