When Sheng Minglan married into the Gu family, she brought three personal maids, they were Cuiwei, Xiao Tao and Dantang. These three maids and Minglan are like sisters and have spent many happy times together. With the passage of time, the three maidens have a good home. Xiao Tao married Gu Tingye's confidant Shi, and Cuiwei married an ordinary family. However, the fate of Dan Tachibana is very different from theirs.
Dan Tang was once the person sent by Mrs. Sheng to take care of Minglan , and she has always served Minglan loyally. However, after entering the Gu Mansion, she had the idea of becoming a concubine. This made Minglan very uneasy, because she was afraid that her relationship with Dan Tang would become estranged because of this. Just when Minglan was pregnant, Dan Tachibana proposed the idea of becoming a concubine to her. This move completely touched Minglan 's bottom line. As a personal maid, Dan Tang knew Minglan very well and knew that such a request would make her extremely disgusted.
In order to ensure that her position is not threatened, Minglan decides to find a suitable husband for Dantang. After some selection, she finally married Dan Tang Xu to her cousin. Although this marriage allowed Dan Tang to leave the Gu Mansion, it also allowed her to get a person worthy of entrusting her for life. Once, Dan Tang secretly took care of Gu Tingye and developed feelings for him. Once, Gu Tingye mistakenly called Dan Tang "Tangerine", which made Dan Tang very sad. After all, in her heart, Gu Tingye is a high-ranking master, and she is just a humble subordinate. Despite this, Dan Tang still had a trace of illusions about Gu Tingye, fantasizing that one day he could become his concubine.
However, Tachibana's dream is only a fantasy after all. As a subordinate, she will never be able to cross the class gap. Under Minglan arrangement, she finally married her cousin and left the Gu Mansion, a place that once made her yearn for it. In the world of power, the name is a status symbol, and when the master wants to change the name, the subordinates have to accept it. Gu Tingye, a person who is comfortable in power schemes, doesn't care too much about these red tapes, but Minglan is delicate, but she notices the subtlety. She vaguely felt that there might already be a tacit understanding between Gu Tingye and Dantang.
Dan Tang, a maid carefully arranged by Mrs. Sheng by Minglan's side, not only takes care of Minglan 's daily life, but also often reports to Mrs. Sheng on Minglan dynamics. Minglan is a smart person, she can see that Dan Tang is not an ordinary woman, if Dan Tang really marries Gu Tingye in the future, then she will be torn between Gu Tingye and Ming Lan, which will definitely bring endless trouble to Ming Lan.
Dan Tang inadvertently touched Minglan 's reverse scales, which made Minglan wary of Dan Tangerine. In her opinion, the existence of Dan Tang has always been a threat. However, Minglan is not a ruthless person, she found a good family for Dantang, and gave a rich dowry. After all, in those days, women's lives were often uncontrollable.
And Gu Tingye, he used to be a man of the hour on the rivers and lakes, but now he only stops for Minglan . He accepted Dantang, perhaps just out of curiosity and playfulness, but he didn't expect that Dantangerine's heart had already been tied to him. Now the balance in his heart has completely tilted in favor of Minglan, and Dantang's wish has not been realized after all.
