Phoenix Chooses No Treasure Tree

Three years ago, Shen Yunshu endured humiliation to marry Pei Zimo, the disabled heir of the Xinyang Marquis, for the sake of her family's reputation. She knelt on three thousand steps to beg for the life-saving Sky Silkworm Lotus for him. After Pei Zimo recovered, he swore to honor Shen Yunshu, left his hometown on a diplomatic mission to the Zhao Kingdom, secretly gathered intelligence for the Great Liang, and successfully helped Great Liang annex the Zhao Kingdom. However, the meritorious Pei Zimo privately committed to the Zhao Kingdom Princess Nangong Yan, used his achievements to request the Emperor's permission to marry the pregnant Princess, and demoted Shen Yunshu from wife to concubine.
