In her previous life, Cui Ruoyin mistakenly married Gu Linchuan, heir to the Marquis of Jingyuan. Though she held the title of heir's wife, she spent her days alone in an empty chamber, wasting away until she died. Only on her deathbed did she realize that she had merely been an obstacle standing in the way of two other people. Reborn at the flower-shooting banquet where husbands are chosen, she deliberately hides the Yao Huang peony representing her and publicly steps aside, allowing Gu Linchuan and Jiang Xinyue, a concubine-born daughter, to be together. She severs her ill-fated bond and refuses to become a co-wife. Instead, Pei Jing, the first-rank Marquis of Weiyuan, seeks her hand in marriage, offering his military achievements as his betrothal gift. In her previous life, the unfaithful man and the concubine-born daughter became embroiled in a bitter household struggle, ultimately losing their family and everything they had. Meanwhile, she finds a blessed marriage, enjoys the company of her children, and lives a peaceful and prosperous life.
