Zhuang Yanhua has been married to Wade Manor for five years without conceiving a child, while the Wei family cousin is pregnant with her husband Tristan Wade's child. Tristan Wade intends to demote his wife to a concubine and elevate the pregnant cousin to the position of official wife. Zhuang Yanhua refuses to become a concubine, but is coerced by the Wei family, and this scene is witnessed by passing Emperor Zhou Qinghuan, who quietly issues an imperial edict granting Zhuang Yanhua a mutual divorce. However, Zhuang Yanhua becomes the laughingstock of the entire capital, with everyone calling her a hen that cannot lay eggs. Tristan Wade takes advantage of the situation, comes to her door to force her to become his concubine, coveting her trousseau, and flies into a rage after being rejected, cursing that no one but him will ever want Zhuang Yanhua for the rest of her life. Just then, the emperor personally arrives with imperial betrothal gifts to marry her into the palace as a consort, slapping the scumbag ex-husband hard in the face. What no one expects even more is that shortly after entering the palace, Zhuang Yanhua becomes pregnant!
