With a contract of servitude in hand, Lianxiang enters the marquis's residence as a concubine brought in to bring good fortune to the eldest son.
That very night, the eldest son, who had been unconscious for days after falling from his horse, slowly awakens.
Everyone knows Qin Zhao of the Dingbei Marquis's residence is brave and stern, ruthless in battle, yet he alone develops improper feelings for a concubine with an ulterior motive.
Over time, they both fall for each other.
Later, Lianxiang is in danger in an enemy country. Though they are husband and wife, Qin Zhao abandons her halfway there, and she grows to hate him.
When she returns, she has a refined and handsome partner by her side.
Consumed by jealousy, Qin Zhao traps her beneath the covers and demands in a furious voice, "You're my wife. How can you marry someone else?"
Lianxiang sneers. "This humble woman is a fool. I heard the general's wife died in the war long ago."
