Shen Hua, the daughter of the Minister of Works, has been repeatedly schemed against by her cousin, Xue Ning, since childhood. Her family always favors Xue Ning, an orphan with no parents, repeatedly allowing Shen Hua to suffer injustice. After a dispute over a marriage engagement, Shen Hua resolutely leaves the Minister's residence and moves to her aunt's country estate. With her aunt's understanding and companionship, she gradually heals from the wounds of her past, rediscovers her love of writing, and earns her own living by copying books. Letting go of old grievances, Shen Hua no longer seeks compensation for her family's wrongs. Through her own hard work, she opens a bookstore, finds a world of her own, and lives an independent and unrestrained life.
