Her husband faked his death and forced Eleanor to raise his mistress’s son to power. When she had nothing left to give, the boy she raised erased her entire world. Reborn, Eleanor returns with no mercy—and a debt to collect.

Lu Ning'an, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, remained a widow for twenty years for her "deceased" husband Xie Yunwang, and painstakingly raised their adopted son Xie Zichen. Only on her deathbed did she discover that Xie Yunwang had faked his death and was living a happy life with Lin Wan'er, and that Xie Zichen was their illegitimate son. Xie Zichen not only failed to repay her kindness but also attempted to assassinate Lu Ning'an and set a fire to silence her, all to conceal his identity. Lu Ning'an died tragically in the flames, filled with hatred, and was then reborn to the past with her memories intact.

Lu Ning'an, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, is reborn after guarding her chastity for twenty years in the Xie family. She returns to the day General Xie Yunwang of the Xie family returns triumphantly from the battlefield. In her previous life, she lived as a widow for Xie Yunwang and managed the Xie household, only to meet a tragic end. After her rebirth, faced with the confusion of her personal maid, Cui'er, Lu Ning'an accurately predicted the arrival of the news of Xie Yunwang's "death in battle." When a household servant reported that Xie Yunwang had died from a poisoned arrow, Lu Ning'an, instead of being devastated as in her past life, calmly chose to put on a festive red wedding dress to "welcome" her husband home.

This episode tells how Xie Yunwang, with the help of his mother, Old Madam Xie, and his mistress Lin Wan'er, staged a "fake death" to embezzle his legal wife Lu Ning'an's dowry and the Duke's mansion's property. Lu Ning'an had long seen through the plot. At the mourning hall, under the guise of "excessive grief," she unleashed a violent onslaught on the Xie Yunwang in the coffin, beating him until his nose was bruised and bleeding profusely. Faced with Old Madam Xie's accusations and the obstruction of the Xie clan elder, Lu Ning'an forcibly took back the authority to handle the funeral arrangements, citing "deep affection." Upon discovering that Xie Yunwang's "corpse" could bleed and his complexion turned red, Lu Ning'an realized the flaw in his fake death and harbored the idea of turning the tables and eliminating him for good.

In this episode, Lu Ning'an attempts to stab the seemingly dead Xie Yunwang with a knife under the pretense of "cleaning blood scabs" at his "mourning hall." Old Mrs. Xie frightfully intervenes, and her inner monologue reveals Xie Yunwang's feigned death. Lu Ning'an then seizes the opportunity, leveraging the Xie family's reputation and a dramatic "dying to prove loyalty" act, to morally blackmail Old Mrs. Xie in public. Ultimately, Lu Ning'an not only sheds the accusation of being a jinx but also forces Old Mrs. Xie to publicly announce throughout the city that Lu Ning'an is innocent and has the right to remarry in the future.

This episode follows Lu Ning'an's return from rebirth. Facing baseless accusations from her mother-in-law, Madam Xie, she calmly handles the situation, using a strategic retreat to advance. Lu Ning'an knows the truth of Xie Yunwang's faked death and the Xie family's ambition for the Duke's mansion's power. She deliberately proposes a grand funeral for her "late husband" to control the greedy Madam Xie. Though Madam Xie harbors a conspiracy, she is unaware that Lu Ning'an has seen through everything. At the critical moment of the coffin being moved for the funeral procession, Lu Ning'an publicly points out an issue with the coffin, officially beginning her revenge.

This episode follows Lu Ning'an as she instantly sees through the scheme of Madam Xie and Xie Yunwang faking his death at his "funeral." Lu Ning'an feigns grief and, under the pretext of a "grand funeral for a national hero," insists on using her dowry to forcefully replace the originally simple coffin with an expensive one made of solid red sandalwood with excellent sealing. Facing Madam Xie's obstruction, Lu Ning'an sarcastically emphasizes the new coffin's "tight seal and lack of air circulation," intending to suffocate the faking-death Xie Yunwang inside, and then coldly orders the coffin to be raised.

This episode depicts Lu Ning'an's sudden realization of something amiss at a funeral. During a somber, late-night procession, Lu Ning'an, dressed in striking red attire, keenly hears a disturbance from within the coffin and immediately orders it stopped. Despite her mother-in-law, Old Madam Xie, appearing panicked and her husband, Xie Yunwang, desperately trying to conceal the situation and urging a swift burial to avoid missing an "auspicious time," Lu Ning'an insists on an inspection. She discovers the coffin is not sealed shut, and uses this as grounds to confront them. In reality, she suspects the life or death of the person inside the coffin. The atmosphere becomes tense, revealing a corner of the Xie family's hidden secrets.
