Su Muxi, though of humble origin and perceived ugliness, was pure-hearted and possessed exceptional medical skills.
She married the once-favored son of heaven and spent three years helping him to stand again from his wheelchair. She thought they would live in marital bliss thereafter, but the first thing he did upon standing was to discard his crutch.
Her three years of devotion were no match for his concubine's return after observing a period of widowhood.
The world believed she coveted the title of the Marquis of Anyang's heir's wife, unaware that her marriage into the Marquis's household was solely to repay a debt of gratitude.
After their divorce, everyone assumed Su Muxi would suffer a miserable existence, unmarriageable, but to their surprise, she became sought after by countless men in the capital.
Prince Yongan declared, "The Princess of Yongan's status is far nobler than that of the Marquis of Anyang's heir's wife. How does Xi'er feel about this?"
When the birthmark that disfigured Su Muxi's face finally vanished, everyone realized: this was no plain physician's daughter! She was clearly a pearl deliberately concealed beneath dust!
