Madam Lin, the matriarch of the Marquis Mansion, suddenly falls critically ill, and the entire household murmurs she's about to pass away. The eldest son rushes to fight for the title, Second Aunt secretly embezzles assets, and even her personal maid starts packing valuables stealthily—only the youngest son, Gu Zhao, stays by her bed, clutching her hand and shedding tears. But no one knows Lin is faking it—twenty years ago, someone slipped her a slow poison right after she gave birth, and she’s been hunting the culprit ever since. Now she’s finally close to the truth. She plans to lure the murderer out by pretending to be on her deathbed, but when she sees Gu Zhao boiling medicine with red-rimmed eyes, she hesitates: Will this fake death scheme hurt the one who loves her most?
