【Primeiro sofrimento, depois satisfação + toda a família paga o preço + jamais perdoar】Mei Gong Xue foi encontrada por seu pai biológico e levada de volta para casa aos dez anos de idade. Desejando carinho familiar, ela fez de tudo para agradar a família, acreditando que poderia trocar sinceridade por sinceridade. Mas, embora ela e Mei Xiang Han fossem ambas filhas do marquês, por que os irmãos só defendiam a irmã? Até que ela foi forçada a se casar com um eunuco no lugar de Mei Xiang Han, suportando três anos de tortura desumana. Finalmente, ela percebeu quão ingênuos eram seus pensamentos e retirou toda sua generosidade para com eles.

Gongxue did not lose heart. She tried to be cheerful and pleasing, eager to fit into this home.
But everything changed after the Grand Eunuch, Zhao Zhang, brought about their father's death.
