In her previous life, Princess Chengping loved Qi Yuan'an to the wrong end and endured endless torment before dying with deep resentment. Reborn, she finds herself at the very moment an imperial decree grants her a marriage. Yet Qi Yuan'an publicly begs to have the engagement annulled so he can marry Fu Mingzhu, the Empress Dowager's adopted granddaughter. She calmly lets go and willingly brings the two together, watching them get what they wished for. When the Marchioness of Ningguo uses an old keepsake to force an imperial marriage decree, Chengping cleverly changes the match and chooses Qi Yuanzhou, a principled man who has returned from the borderlands. After their wedding, she sees through Fu Mingzhu and Qi Yuan'an's true natures and watches coldly as their conflicts multiply. Through every storm, she and Qi Yuanzhou support one another, break free from the pain of the past, and find a steady, dignified life of their own.
