With Old Man Wen gravely ill, the Wen family was on the verge of being picked clean by their clansmen. Having just transmigrated, Wen Wan was feeling very anxious. She desperately needed an obedient and well-behaved matrilocal son-in-law— Meanwhile, Wei Zheng, the Marquis of Hua'an, who had been sent by imperial decree to Jiangnan to investigate a case, was ambushed. As he lay on the verge of death, he was knocked unconscious by a human trafficker and rushed overnight to Wen Wan's bedside. The amnesiac Wei Zheng became Zhao Heng, the matrilocal son-in-law of the Wen family. The hand that once held a sword to claim lives transformed into a hand that prepared soups. Finally, when Wen Wan diagnosed herself with a pregnancy, she did not hesitate to drug Wei Zheng and dump him into the snowy forests of Cangshan, five hundred miles away, to fend for himself. She then wore white flowers in her hair and black silk around her arms, hosting a grand banquet to bid farewell to her "suddenly deceased" husband. Whenever the topic of Shopkeeper Wen was raised, the people of Ping County could not help but sigh: "What a bitter life this young lady leads!" With her man dead, she had to live with her father and two children. Even though she was incredibly wealthy, her heart must surely be filled with unspeakable sorrow. Wen Wan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, nodding repeatedly, terrified that others would see the secret joy in her heart. It wasn't until later, when the Wen family's immense wealth drew envious eyes, that Wen Wan was thrown into prison. The official handling the case was none other than the world-renowned Marquis of Hua'an. The Wen family scrambled and exhausted their entire fortune, yet the case made no progress. In the prison cell, the man in green asked her with cold, sharp eyes "Shopkeeper Wen, I heard you once swore to remain unmarried for life to preserve your chastity for your late husband?" Wen Wan trembled violently: "Big brother, I've learned my lesson, please let me go."
