Jiang Yuntang, filled with joy, travels with her adopted daughter Gunbao to Qingzhou to visit her husband, General Ye Xiangyao of Dingbei, whom she hasn't seen in years. Jiang Yuntang feels guilty for not being able to conceive for many years, unaware that her current status as the General's wife and Ye Xiangyao's military achievements were all thanks to the county princess title she obtained by sacrificing her loyal family. Her younger adopted daughter, Gunbao (actually a celestial being undergoing mortal tribulation), mentally calls her mother a "love-struck fool" and accidentally overhears the conversation between Old Madam Ye and Yingying in a nearby carriage. It turns out Ye Xiangyao has already taken a mistress outside, and Yingying is his illegitimate daughter. Worse still, Old Madam Ye cruelly plans to eliminate Jiang Yuntang's future offspring to secure Yingying's position as the "eldest legitimate daughter." Gunbao realizes the gravity of the situation and becomes vigilant.
