At her deceased husband's memorial hall, the protagonist Xie Wan is cornered by relatives led by her uncle. Citing ancestral rules that an heirless woman cannot inherit family business, they attempt to seize the Xie family fortune and mock her for being unable to continue her husband's lineage. Facing their harassment, Xie Wan reveals at a crucial moment that she is pregnant, stunning everyone. She then forcefully declares her intention to establish a female lineage and take over as the head of the Xie family, vowing to protect her father's legacy. Her inner monologue finally reveals that she was forced to "borrow a seed to have a child" for self-preservation due to the relatives' insatiable greed.
