Wang Yanqing is fostered by the Marquis of Zhenyuan after her parent's death. She is smart, observant and loyal, and sacrifices a lot. Her foster brother Fu Tingzhou loves her, but he loves power and status more, so he decides to agree to a political marriage and marries Wang as his concubine despite her protest.

Wang decides to leave, but she falls off a cliff and loses her memory. Her foster brother's political rival Lu Heng saves her by accident, but decides to pass himself as her foster brother so as to manipulate her.

In the novel, Wang grows from someone who expects neglect and hiding her true opinion to be willing to stand for herself. With a more supportive family, Wang would be able to learn to be more confident and care for herself, but it's never too late.

The writer said in the afterword that she wanted every woman to be able to be themselves without fear. I hope that everyone has the chance too.
