She was born a nobleman's daughter, but was mistakenly switched at birth and raised as a country girl. From the day she returned to her family, people mocked her as crude and ignorant of etiquette.
Yet she desperately wanted the affection she believed family should provide. Even knowing that everyone in the Nangu Marquis household disliked her, she still obeyed every command, never daring to defy them in the slightest.
In the end... the fake heiress usurped her place, and on the day she married the man she loved, she was burned alive in the bridal chamber!
Reborn into a new life, she makes careful plans at every turn, determined to make everyone who laughed at her swallow every last word of gossip!
But trapped in the inner household, she has no one to turn to.
Desperate to find someone powerful to back her, she nervously approaches the late emperor's hidden posthumous son, who is living in the marquis's residence, and "rescues" him from danger time and again.
When she is ready to ask for a reward as his savior, he looks at her with a smile.
"Miss Xiao, a life-saving debt is always hard to repay. I can only offer myself to you."
