CompletedShen Yuan was abandoned in the wilderness at birth and suffered greatly for eighteen years. The only light in her life was a weak scholar. He taught her to read and write, and she gathered herbs to sell to fund his pursuit of fame.
She thought they would stay together like this for life.
Until Chu Yu Ning achieved top honors in the imperial examinations, becoming the top scholar and parading through the streets. Meanwhile, she was reduced to slavery, becoming a lowly criminal slave in the princess's mansion, one who could be trampled upon at will.
