A scandal erupts at the Marquis of Shunyang's residence. Qin Zhaoxi, the second daughter of the Qin family, is falsely accused of claiming her elder sister's military merits for saving an entire city's population. Branded with infamy, she is sent to a manor thousands of miles away to live in seclusion for eight years. Eight years later, the Marquis's residence brings her back to the capital. The city's noble families all sneer at her, assuming that years of hardship in the countryside must have left her looking haggard. Little do they expect Qin Zhaoxi's stunning return to leave everyone speechless. After enduring eight years of injustice, she has returned to settle old scores. Whether facing the Marquis's family's deliberate difficulties, servants' humiliation, or clan members' seizure of her mother's dowry, she strikes back against them all. What's more, she can expose the deepest secrets of others with just a single remark. When a certain prince finally returns home from war, filled with remorse, he discovers that his formidable wife has long since disappeared.
