Empress Jiang Ning transmigrated into an unpopular stepmother of a marquis's mansion overnight. Her stepson Shen Yan is a renowned cold and aloof top scholar in the capital, treating her like a stranger. But she gradually discovers that this “living Yama” (a fearsome figure) whom everyone fears has a contrasting side—secretly covering her with a cloak on rainy nights, hiding her clumsily embroidered handkerchief in a locked desk drawer, and even quietly standing up for her when she's bullied by the mansion's people. Beneath Shen Yan's coldness lies the trauma of being abandoned in childhood; beneath Jiang Ning's “stepmother” identity lies the strength and softness of her past life as an empress. When the empress's straightforwardness breaks through the top scholar's duplicity, and when the old secrets of the marquis's mansion surface, how will this pair of “most familiar strangers” go from “distant mother and son” to “each other's redemption”?
