Synopsis:

Shen Guiyan, the daughter of a minister, is intelligent, straightforward, and full of integrity. However, her unrefined mannerisms make her unpopular with her stepmother and elder sister. When her biological mother is unjustly accused and passes away, Shen Guiyan finds herself in an even more isolated and helpless situation. Despite the heavy blows she faces, Shen Guiyan, who refuses to give up, remains optimistic and self-reliant. She is determined to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death.

By chance, she forms a bond with the fourth young master of the Xiang family, Gu Chaobei. Gu Chaobei helps her through many dangers, and the two gradually develop a relationship that resembles a love-hate dynamic. Gu Chaobei is deeply attracted to Shen Guiyan’s seemingly delicate exterior, which hides a resilient, unyielding, and intelligent personality. After overcoming numerous obstacles, they finally marry.

After their marriage, Shen Guiyan assists Gu Chaobei in managing the Xiang family, improving both internal and external affairs. She also clears her mother’s name and uncovers the truth behind the unjust accusations. However, their happiness is short-lived. A foreign invasion occurs, and the emperor, knowing that Gu Chaobei is determined, noble-hearted, and capable of great responsibility, orders him to lead the defense against the invaders.

After the war ends and peace is restored, the country is safe, and Shen Guiyan and Gu Chaobei live a long and contented life together, growing old side by side.
