Reborn on the very night she went into labor, Shen Yu used her newfound ability to read minds to expose a sinister plot orchestrated by the concubine, Lady Liu, and a corrupt midwife, successfully saving her infant daughter, Niannian. She soon formed an alliance with Xiao Yan, the Prince of Zhennan, who had also been reborn. Together, they thwarted a succession of conspiracies: her stepmother Madame Zhou's attempt to embezzle her dowry, Lady Liu's scheme to frame her through a fake pregnancy, and the Gu family's machinations to seize power. Using her mind-reading gift once more, Yu uncovered ironclad evidence that Marquis Gu had embezzled three hundred thousand ounces of silver in military funds. With a cleverly laid trap, she drove a wedge between Marquis Gu and his son, turning them against each other. With the help of the upright official Lin Changqing, Marquis Gu was brought to justice and executed, his estate confiscated, granting her a formal legal divorce to sever all marital ties with her husband, Gu Yunzheng. When Shen Wan plotted to ruin Yu's reputation, the deceitful woman ended up tasting her own bitter medicine instead. With her vengeance complete, Yu took her daughter and left the manor to live on her own. Ultimately, the Empress Dowager bestowed an imperial decree of marriage upon her, uniting Yu and Yan in a magnificent wedding worthy of an extravagant, miles-long bridal procession.
