Bai Jiaxuan's marriage career is like the changes in Bailuyuan, every wife is a story, and rumors of his wife began to circulate in the outside world.
Among the seven wives, the seventh wife became Bai Jiaxuan's last partner in life. The director cleverly expressed his unique view of his wife through Bai Jiaxuan's mother, who believes that the existence of a wife is to have children, which is a family responsibility. This view was not uncommon in the social background at that time, but it made Bai Jiaxuan frequently look for suitable reproductive partners among his seven wives.
Xiancao is a simple and bright woman. Her first appearance was to make a bowl of hot noodles for Bai Jiaxuan's family, and broke the lifelessness of the Bai family through this small thing. Her vitality filled Bai Jiaxuan's long-dried soul and made Bai Jiaxuan feel the warmth that she had not felt for a long time.
Her openness and open-mindedness in being a person and doing things are impressive. On the first night of Bai Jiaxuan's wedding to Xiancao, Xiancao had six peachwood hammers tied to his waist to beat Bai Jiaxuan's first six wives. This move not only shows her decisiveness and bravery, but also expresses her sincerity to the newlywed life.

Different from the previous seven wives, the image of Xiancao shows a simple and non-superstitious quality. She lives quietly on the White Deer Plain, with the earth as her companion, and spends the rest of her life hand in hand with Bai Jiaxuan. This scene makes people sigh, perhaps at the turning point of fate, Bai Jiaxuan found the peace and satisfaction that his heart really needs.
