After harming someone, their home was raided by the Governor’s Office, leading to the girl’s displacement. Later, she was bought by Madam Lu’s parents.
She knew some medical skills, was clever and adaptable, and quickly gained the trust of Madam Lu’s parents. Thus, she became one of the reserve maids for the bridal entourage.

Eating that girl’s poison, she began to grow more and more unusual, increasingly resembling a tomboy, even developing a beard and chest hair, features a woman should not have.
Her stature, too, grew unusually tall, towering nearly above the heavens from an already slender frame.
By the day she married General Lu, she had already taken on the look of a tomboy.
