The Du Family has a daughter, married for three months, her husband receives the emperor's order to go to war, and since then they have been together rarely and apart often.

Married for five years, her husband dies on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide.

She cries her eyes out, adopts a clan child, and through the green lamp and old Buddha, she earns a memorial arch of chastity. This is her life's glory, and also a lifelong shackle.

In her old age, she learns that her husband's death was a conspiracy, but there is no longer anyone to avenge.

She sees the flowers filling the courtyard, just like the day he lifted her veil, and she hears cheerful laughter, reminiscent of the years he was by her side.

She knows she won't live long, standing under the memorial arch, her hand on the cold stone pillar, she doesn't want this name of chastity, she only wants him to grow old with her. She doesn't want to raise other people's children, she wants their own son.

If she could go back to the past, she would never let her husband die in vain, and would never let the enemy have a good end!

Jin Rui tidied up the table and gently called out to Du Yunluo.


Du Yunluo turned and walked back to the table. As she picked up her brush, she tilted her head and asked, "Did you go to Anfeng Courtyard? Who told you?"


Jin Rui replied, "I went to look for Qian He to talk, and just happened to see the fourth young lady looking lost walking out of the fourth lady's room. Qian He followed to serve her, and heard someone say, 'A concubine's child will always be a concubine's child.' Qian He was startled. I heard it too and pondered; it seems the fourth young lady heard something unpleasant from the fourth lady again and felt unhappy, so I inquired a bit at Anfeng Courtyard and figured out what it was about."


Jin Rui and Jin Ling had good relations in the various houses and courtyards in the mansion. The information they intentionally gathered was usually reliable.
