Jiang Nian was a peasant girl whose father saved Prefect Qi’s life. Through this, Jiang Nian ascended to higher status overnight, marrying into the Qi family and becoming the wife of the second young master, Qi Heng.
As a peasant girl marrying into a noble family, with an outstandingly handsome husband and aristocratic women as her sisters-in-law, Jiang Nian felt deeply inferior. She lived cautiously, even afraid to speak an extra word to her husband.
She spent every day learning how to be a proper lady of the house, forcing herself to study etiquette rules, exhausting herself yet never earning a single word of praise from others.
After Prefect Qi raised an army, rebelled, and ascended the throne, her husband was enfeoffed as a Prince. When the entire family moved to the capital, a careless remark from her sister-in-law made her fall gravely ill.
“A peasant girl like you doesn’t deserve a Prince. You should know your place and agree to a divorce.”
While unconscious, she returned to the time before her marriage. This time, she never wanted to marry again. Yet unexpectedly, the entire Qi Manor knelt and begged her to marry into their family.
