Shen Zhaohua, the legitimate daughter of a military family, is secretly harmed by her cousin Liu Ruyue and abandoned by her husband's family. With three young children by her side, she struggles to survive in the bitter snow and wind. At her lowest point, she unexpectedly discovers an ancestral makeup box said to grant beauty. Through washing clothes and mending garments with her own hands, she saves up beauty money, gradually restoring her radiant appearance. Bearing the stigma of a discarded wife, she navigates all sides and strikes a clearly priced deal with the escort guard Zhou Meng. She draws closer to the gentle young gentleman Jiang Xu and the stern military general Huo Zheng, gradually uncovering the truth behind the conspiracy that ruined her in the past. In this lifetime, she will no longer be a virtuous abandoned wife whom anyone can manipulate. She will earn her own silver, restore her own beauty and dignity, and choose her own destiny. She will settle every debt owed to her, one by one, and the people truly worthy of her trust will finally see her for who she is.
