Yinxing suffered from the cold in her youth and could not bear children, and was forced by her mother to marry a scoundrel, but Xiao Qingbei snatched her away midway and married her. Before going off to military service, Xiao entrusted her with his two daughters, and Yinxing subsequently saved the exiled crown prince brothers, relying on kiln work and making preserved fruit to save up silver, resisting a harsh mother-in-law and a greedy maternal family, and dividing the family to live in the ancestral hall.
