After marriage, he chipped away at Qinghuan's dowry, joined forces with her stepmother and Shen Yunrou to favor the concubine over the wife, and Qinghuan died a miserable and resentful death. Reborn in a new lifetime, the embroidered ball accidentally falls into the hands of the old General of the Guard State, Xiao Zhenshan.

Lu Jinnian repeatedly frames her, but Qinghuan steps forward twice, exhausts her family fortune to help her husband defeat the enemy, and is bestowed the title of a first-rank imperial wife.
