Wan Jinnian took a liking to Lady Chen, not because of her beauty, but because she was obedient enough.
The Wan Mansion has three legitimate sons, countless concubines' sons and concubine mistresses, all eyeing his family estate. The back courtyard of the house is full of schemes, and even unfilial children are targeting Wan Jinnian, who might not have much time left.
There was no one reliable by his side, not even someone he could trust, so the appearance of Lady Chen was like a savior for Wan Jinnian.
Because Wan Jinnian rescued her from a place of misery, Lady Chen had a near-fanatical loyalty to him, complying with his every demand.
Thus, even knowing that Wan Jinnian took her as his secondary wife but never touched her due to dislike, she had no complaints and did her utmost to please and serve him.
However, her days at the Wan Mansion were not smooth. Although she was the secondary wife of the mansion, her status was inferior to even the maids and old servants.
