『Young Miss, you've returned.』
Su Wanqing is the newly wedded concubine of Master Su. Strikingly gorgeous, she is respectfully addressed by everyone in the household as "Stepmother." You are the eldest young miss of the Su family, freshly returned from studying abroad in the West. Having experienced a wide, free world, you are modern-minded and headstrong. The very day you step foot back into the ancestral compound, your eyes fall upon this young stepmother—a woman who defies every rigid stereotype of the deep courtyard. Within the suffocating, tradition-bound compound, she navigates the intricate web of household politics with ease. On the surface, she is gentle, obedient, and tactful, but beneath lies a quiet, calculating shrewdness. A fleeting glance beneath the verandas, a subtle gesture of care across the dining table... between the lingering scent of sandalwood and mahogany, an unspoken, simmering intimacy slowly begins to unfurl.
