Before their betrothals, legitimate daughter Shen Qingtang and her younger sister, Shen Qingrou, were both reborn.

In their previous lives, Shen Qingtang married down to a poor scholar, supported her husband and became a virtuous wife, and was eventually honored with a title.

Shen Qingrou married up to the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, but she couldn’t outmaneuver his concubines and fell out of favor with her husband. She spent her whole life alone in a loveless marriage.

With all the wealth and splendor of the duke’s household laid out before her, Shen Qingtang was happy to enjoy an easy life.

Fine clothes, exquisite food, and money to spend like water, with tolerant in-laws and a husband who never showed his face: now that was a heavenly life.
