Plot: Commanding general of Xiyu, Yao Ruogang, is not the man his father was. He spends his time partying and wasting time. Emperor Shen and General Zi arrange a plan to protect Yao Ruogang for the future of Xiyu. General Zi's eldest daughter, trained warrior, Zi Yaling is bidden to become Yao Ruogang's eighth wife. All his previous wives died in mysterious circumstances. Zi Yaling knows that she is only going to be another number in a tomb if she doesn't take matters into her own hands. But on route to Yao Mansion someone attempts to kill her and her company. Only Zi Yaling and her maid escape, aided by a strange bandit. In spite of the bandit's warnings Zi Yaling continues on to Yao Mansion. On the very first morning the servants are attacked and Zi Yaling realizes her life is in danger. She won't be able to protect Yao Ruogang if she can't even protect herself.

Then the worst thing happens, Zi Yaling realizes that she is falling in love with her wayward lord and his remarkable household. Her sister says it's a good thing, but Yaling has come to doubt her husband and his loyalties. He has more secrets and personalities than she can count. If there is no trust, how can they survive? What is the truth about the past? Why didn't Yao Ruogang go to his father's funeral? Who are his mysterious companions? What is the truth?
