Yun Yao has always kept a secret no one knows: she has secretly loved someone for a long time. Duan Yuan, Commander of the Imperial City Bureau, is the most favored man at court.
To stay by his side, she hid her sharp claws and dulled the edge of her spirit.
She thought she could always be the little shadow trailing after Duan Yuan. But in the end, the person who had once cherished her suddenly grew distant. Her foster mother's dying words told her to marry a man she did not love, and she was eventually killed.
Reborn at fifteen, Yun Yao decides to let go of her fixation on someone and refuses to live the same timid, awkward way she once did.
So the reborn Yun Yao gives up trying, vowing to stop pretending to be a good girl. She gets into fights at school, toys with concubines, and visits brothels at night. She's involved in it all.
But things don't go as she wishes. Duan Yuan seems to have become a different person, always showing up in front of her for one reason or another and treating her wonderfully, indulging her in everything.
Rumor has it that Duan Yuan, Commander of the Imperial City Bureau, has many informants in the capital and knows plenty of scandalous secrets about the powerful and influential. But even he isn't all-knowing. He had no idea that the young woman he cherished most loved him, and even personally sent Yun Yao off in her wedding carriage. He never even saw her one last time.
After being reborn, Duan Yuan watches Yun Yao's personality change completely and smiles knowingly. He knows this is her true nature. But now that she's like this, he likes her even more. What is he supposed to do?
