Jiang Wanrou took her elder sister’s place and married Lu Feng, the disabled eldest master of the Duke Mansion. As her marriage came with disgrace, she lived cautiously every day. She served the elders above her, managed the household, and kept the mansion in impeccable order. Even her moody husband respected her for the sake of their children.

Over five years of marriage, through her painstaking efforts, no concubines were causing trouble in the backyard, and harmony was maintained with her sisters-in-law and nieces. Jiang Wanrou held the reins of the household firmly, had a legitimate son by her side, and her husband, Lu Feng, earned the emperor’s favor and wielded immense power in the court. From a mere daughter of a concubine, she rose to become one of the most sought-after noblewomen in the capital, leaving many marveling at Jiang Wanrou’s good fortune.

Finally, Jiang Wanrou felt that she could relax and enjoy the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, a private iron trade case landed Prince Gong in prison, shattering her tranquil existence.

Princess Consort Gong was Jiang Wanrou’s elder sister and Lu Feng’s childhood sweetheart—the woman he originally intended to marry in a grand procession.

Prince Gong’s relatives were all arrested and interrogated; only Princess Consort received special treatment. Jiang Wanrou’s husband, Lu Feng, was the lead judge of the case.
