When the matter of taking Dong Xiaowan as a concubine reached her ears, she was in the courtyard of the Wu family, practicing and singing the "Legend of the West Chamber" that she was most familiar with.

The maidservants chatted around her while she was resting, laughing and reading their names together over and over again, and telling her their stories. These innocent girls always like to regard the story of talent and beauty knowing and falling in love as the most beautiful love in the world, but they have never thought about how many people's youth and tears are buried in this beautiful story.

On the Qinhuai River, there are many romantic affairs between young talents and famous courtesans in painting boats, and when she was still there, she often became the heroine of those poignant and moving stories. Although she is now in the Wu Mansion, she still knows the little tricks used to attract people in the painting boat. She knows too well the rejection, half-truths, and ambiguity of these stories, so she has long lost interest in this kind of story. She didn't want to waste her time dreaming of a beautiful love with these girls, but when she heard the names of the heroes and heroines, she couldn't move.

Mao Bijiang still accepted a concubine in the end, and that woman was really Dong Xiaowan. She was not surprised by the result, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't control the urge to cry.

When she first met Mao Bijiang, she knew that in the heart of this man who talked extraordinarily, there lived a gentle and delicate woman. In the days that followed, although he loved her very much, and even talked about marriage many times, she could still feel that he just regarded her as a substitute for another woman.

At that time, there were rumors in the boat that he was in love with Dong Xiaowan. She often suspected that the woman in his heart was Dong Xiaowan, but she never mentioned it to him. She minded, minded that he would miss other women after having her, but to be honest, this kind of mind couldn't occupy a place in her exquisite heart.

She had always known what she was, so she often advised herself that if she wanted to get out of this cage, she had to learn to suffer some grievances. Compared with those sisters who were bought by wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, it was already a blessing for her to meet such a man who could barely be regarded as a happy man who was willing to redeem her, so why force this man to only see himself?

She saw everything through, but she still overestimated his feelings for her. She always thought that if she gave him all the freedom he wanted, he would give her freedom, but in the end, it was cruel to prove that she was wrong. After missing and giving up again and again, her expectations for him finally turned into a dream that seemed to be nothing, lingering in every lonely and empty night.

Under the influence of the so-called various family affairs, he finally left her in the painting boat and did not come back to redeem her as agreed.

Then she knew that his repeated postponements were all excuses, and he finally gave up on her, and turned to find the woman who lived in his heart. Her tolerance and love did not return his promise, but helped him verify his sincerity. She resented, she hated, but she couldn't do anything, but she finally got out of that cage as she wished.

The last person to take her away from the painting boat was the abbot Tian Hongyu, who hoped to regain power and status through her beauty and singing voice. And now, she has moved to Wu Sangui's mansion and has become Wu Sangui's favorite concubine.
