In her previous life, Gu Qingyi rose from a village woman to the esteemed wife of a duke, enjoying a moment of glory and a lifetime of beauty. Yet she lived cautiously, as if treading on thin ice.
She thought that once her husband died and her son inherited the title, she would become the Dowager Madam and finally live without a care. But the child she had raised from infancy and cherished above all else turned out to be her husband's concubine's son.
