Ah Chou (played by Tian Xi Wei) was originally a lowly young girl who could be trampled and bullied by anyone. Yet, because her face resembles that of the wealthy Wei Rao of the Hou Mansion, she unexpectedly becomes the bride of Prince Lu Zuo (played by Yan An) of the National Public Mansion.

Ah Chou. however, is ambitious and eager to rise to power, but her newlywed husband, who was once on the verge of death, suddenly wakes up, and that alone brings about a series of new misfortunes.

Meanwhile, Wei Rao hates her for occupying the magpie’s nest and is eager to get rid of her quickly; while Lu Zuo uses her as a snake-and-scorpion woman, being extremely cautious and calculating.

The Guo Gong Mansion is openly friendly, but in reality, it is fraught with traps and a deadly threat.

That is why Ah Chou steadily and meticulously plans, employing every means to win her husband’s devoted love and uncover the secrets of her background.

She eventually reunites with her family, rising from the bottom to become a dazzling figure in society.
