In her previous life, Shen Yunshu, the matriarch of the Marquis's household, spent her entire life working tirelessly for her family, who drained her of everything she had until she died miserably in a desolate courtyard. Reborn, she awakens to the importance of independence. She protects her dowry, establishes rules, and refuses to give endlessly without appreciation. She brings order to the Marquis's household, raises the children, and establishes the Shen Embroidery Workshop to support orphaned girls and impoverished women, earning her place through her own abilities. She decisively divorces her cold-hearted former husband and eventually marries Xie Heng, the Marquis of Zhenbei and her childhood sweetheart, in a proper wedding ceremony. At last, she finds a love in which two people belong only to each other for a lifetime. Breaking free from the shackles of feudal society, Shen Yunshu realizes her own worth and becomes a role model for the women of the capital, spreading the positive message of female independence, self-respect, self-love, and living toward the light.
