Shen Qingci was originally the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's estate, but due to being framed, her entire family was executed and she was the only one who survived. She was originally supposed to marry Xiao Jinghan, the powerful Marquis of Zhenbei who wielded great influence at court, but that marriage was usurped by Liu Yuzi, a concubine-born daughter. Having suffered such a huge setback, she did not fall; instead, she became a lowly maid in the Marquis of Zhenbei's estate to begin her revenge, preparing to take back everything that belonged to her, and finally falling in love with Xiao Jinghan.
