share time: 2025-11-08 06:04:22

Su Yanzhi, the leading actress of an opera troupe, witnessed her father wrongfully accused of "colluding with enemies" and her entire family executed. To avenge, she assumed a fake identity and married into the Marquis Mansion, becoming the young mistress of Xiao Yanzhi—the very "little beggar" who secretly gave her a steamed bun at the execution ground years ago. Now Xiao Yanzhi is the legitimate son of the Marquis and a secret investigator of the old massacre. He recognized Yanzhi long ago but dared not reveal it because his father was involved. They pretend to be a loving couple, but each harbors secrets: Yanzhi hides a poisoned needle to assassinate the Marquis, while Xiao Yanzhi keeps his father’s secret letter to clear her family’s name. Until the night Yanzhi attempts to assassinate, Xiao Yanzhi takes a fatal blow for her, his blood staining her rouge makeup—revealing the "colluding crime" was a frame-up by political enemies, and Xiao’s father had died to atone for saving Yanzhi’s father. Yanzhi’s tears fall on his wound, realizing the so-called "sins of the departed" are just the regret of loving but not daring to speak.
