When Gu Miaotong, the true legitimate daughter, arrives to reclaim her identity, Xue Ling decisively leaves the manor and returns to the Xue family, avoiding the tragic death she suffered in her previous life.

With undercurrents of turmoil swirling through the capital and famine approaching, she moves to the outskirts of the capital with her family and Princess Ning'an. Can she change the tragic fate of her previous life, and what future awaits her and Yan Hongxuan?
