To escape an arranged marriage, Fu Tingzhou leaves his wife Qiao Nanyi behind without ever meeting her, taking his “best friend” Xiao Yutong overseas for two years. What he doesn’t know is that his supposedly dull wife was once a famed courtesan in a past life—beautiful, intelligent, and skilled at navigating high society.
In just two years, Qiao Nanyi wins over the entire Fu family. When Fu Tingzhou finally returns, his friends mock her as plain and old-fashioned—until she appears and stuns everyone with her beauty. Fu Tingzhou falls for her at first sight, igniting Xiao Yutong’s jealousy.
Trying to humiliate Qiao Nanyi, Xiao Yutong provokes her at a gathering, only for Qiao Nanyi to captivate everyone with a graceful pipa performance. As Fu Tingzhou grows more drawn to his wife, Xiao Yutong schemes against her, even spreading rumors about her past—only to have her own scandals exposed instead.
