The Yuan family stands as one of the most influential households in the city, with Minister Yuan himself revered by the Emperor and considered a pillar of the dynasty. Yet, within this powerful family, the fourth young miss, Yuan Liu, endures a life akin to slavery in her own home. Her father shows no affection for his charming daughter, and her birth mother passed away when Yuan Liu was young, leaving her abandoned and scorned. Denied a proper education, she is merely taught the bare minimum of 'decency,' while being forced to forage and hunt in the mountains to survive. Despite her profound suffering and despair, Yuan Liu harbors a deep yearning for a life of freedom, unburdened by societal prejudices and expectations. Her world takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Wei Thanh, a talented and charismatic young man. With his arrival, Yuan Liu's life embarks on a completely new and unforeseen path.
