Plot

Jun Qiluo and Sun Siru cross paths by chance while gathering deceased bodies. As they mature, both develop feelings for Mu Sheng. Although Mu Sheng’s affection lies with Qiluo, he favors the more delicate Siru and distances himself from Qiluo. Despite this, Qiluo forgives them and finds solace in Lin Chuyi, a homeless man.

Ming Zhixie, the proprietor of Ming Castle, organizes a contest for young women. Qiluo is initially selected but later replaced by Siru, who aims to elevate her social standing. Siru endures harsh treatment from Ming Zhixie but collaborates with his nephew Ming Shaoqing to assassinate him. Following the murder, Shaoqing takes over the castle, and Siru assumes the role of lady of the Ming family.

Holding Qiluo responsible for her hardships, Siru confines Qiluo’s family and compels Qiluo to wed Chuyi to safeguard them. After their marriage, Mu Sheng returns, leading to a violent confrontation with Chuyi; both are subsequently banished from Ming Castle.

Years later, Qiluo observes Siru marrying Mu Sheng after Siru abandons Shaoqing. Overcome with despair, Qiluo resolves to seek vengeance against Siru and Mu Sheng with Chuyi’s assistance.
