Shen Yunjiao's birth mother died while saving the Old Madam of the Su family, the Earl of Zhongyong's household. Feeling sorry for Shen Yunjiao, the old madam raised her at her side and claimed publicly that she was a distant granddaughter.
Over the years, Shen Yunjiao and the old madam depended on each other. After her engagement was broken off, Shen Yunjiao swore to stay by the old madam's side for the rest of her life.
But later, the old madam passed away from illness.
It was only on that very day that Shen Yunjiao discovered the Su household's vicious ambitions!
When they realized that Shen Yunjiao had uncovered their secret, they simply decided to silence her by killing her!
Blood blurred Shen Yunjiao's vision. The last thing she saw was the old madam's grandson, the Marquis of Dingbei, gently wiping the tears from her face.
The Marquis of Dingbei was a brave and skilled warrior, ruthless and stern, and a trusted aide of the emperor. Over the years, many people had tried to send their daughters to him, yet to this day, he still had no woman at his side.
Looking at the Marquis of Dingbei's gentle, anguished gaze, Shen Yunjiao suddenly remembered something.
Back when her engagement had been broken off, she had secretly hidden in a peach-blossom grove to cry. Xiao Shijing, then still the heir to the title, suddenly appeared in the grove and said in a low voice, “Stop crying. What if I married you?”
Xiao Shijing was heaven's favored son, extraordinarily talented, and always wore a cold expression. Shen Yunjiao had always been rather intimidated by the young lord.
Biting her lip, Shen Yunjiao said plaintively, “Young Lord, don't joke with me.”
She fled in a panic, never seeing the disappointed look in Xiao Shijing's eyes.
In Xiao Shijing's arms, Shen Yunjiao gradually lost her breath. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day her engagement was broken off.

The behavior of that maid in the first few chapters of this book was truly infuriating. Why didn't they just deal with her directly? Otherwise, things would have been fine later on.
