Legitimate and concubine-born sisters both experience rebirth. The concubine-born younger sister snatches away the husband who will reach the pinnacle of officialdom in their past life, believing she has traded for the wealth and honor of a chief councilor's wife. Meanwhile, the legitimate elder sister, bearing the hard lessons of being drained and exploited in her past life, turns to enter the palace. She reclaims all her dowry, wits, and human connections that once paved the way for the ungrateful man, stepping forward from a marginalized attendant all the way to the Emperor's presence, becoming a revered noble figure in the harem.
