For three years, she stayed by his side, grinding ink, preparing medicine, and keeping him company in silence, but never conveyed a word to the outside world - because that cold and aloof young man had already taken root in her heart.
Once the situation suddenly changed, Lu Zhixu blamed Ningjingyuan. Everyone in the Ning family was convicted, and she was treated as an abandoned son and given as a wife to the Lu family's slaves. As the prison car headed north, he thought she was an informant of the Lu family; while being imprisoned in the house, she carried evidence and waited for him to come back alive.
