Liu Yiyun could swear on her conscience that as the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, she had done right by her ancestors, by heaven and earth, and by herself.
Her life had been smooth sailing. For more than a decade, everyone had treated her like a treasure. She married the handsome prince of her dreams, gave everything she had to help him, and won him an empire. She even became empress. Her life should have been perfect, so why did it all vanish overnight for no reason?
She died a horrific death, but then met a benefactor and opened her eyes again. The world had been turned upside down, and everything was starting over. She would crush the scumbag man and her white-lotus sister, and playing the pig to eat the tiger was her specialty. From the emperor to the vegetable sellers, everyone in Yao City knew the eldest Liu daughter by her fearsome reputation. Watch her take the world by storm and exact her revenge to the fullest! Set a trap for her? She'll turn around and, with a blink, make you fall into it yourself. Deliberately make things difficult? She'll resolve it with ease and leave you speechless.
The Beiming family of northern Yao City wields overwhelming influence but never involves itself in politics. Its members are elusive, and people say that the family head, Beiming Luo Han, is a master of romance who leaves a trail of broken hearts and changes women as often as he changes clothes. He has crossed swords with Liu Yiyun openly and behind the scenes, and lost to her at least eight or ten times.
Liu Yiyun says, “If you've got what it takes, come and challenge me.”
A grand, world-shaking wager had already been decided before anyone even knew it existed. It was a game of survival of the fittest. Whoever stood atop the highest tower would win. If Liu Yiyun won this wager, the turbulent history and its famous figures would all fall into her hands. She could toy with every one of them.
When she opened her eyes again, the game had begun.
