After the death of her husband and father-in-law, Ye Yunniang's mother-in-law made a decisive move—selling their house and land before taking her daughter-in-law and grandson to seek refuge with her younger sister. Life in Jiangcheng was far from easy, and to make ends meet, Ye Yunniang chose to leave her mother-in-law and son behind, entering the wealthy Jiang household as a wet nurse.
Ye Yunniang had a simple plan: work diligently as a wet nurse for a year, earning enough to support her small family for three to five years in Jiangcheng.
But fate had other plans when she unwittingly caught the attention of a man she should never have crossed paths with, throwing her carefully laid plans into disarray.
Through these trials, Ye Yunniang transformed from an obedient daughter-in-law, always following her mother-in-law's lead, into a woman who took charge of her own destiny.
This is a story of survival, not one of fantastical shortcuts—no rebirth, no time travel. Just the everyday struggles of a wet nurse trying to carve out a life in the shadow of the wealthy.
