In her previous life, she was the legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household. She gave everything for the Fifth Prince, who was next in line for the throne, and fought in campaigns across the realm to help him take the throne, all for the sake of the love he had once shown her.
But he betrayed her. Listening to a concubine-born daughter’s slander, he decided that the child in Lin Shiyun’s womb was a monster. At the ceremony where she was to be crowned empress, he stood by as the concubine-born daughter strangled her and cut the baby from her belly. The loyal and valiant Marquis Zhongyong’s family was branded traitorous, and not one of them survived.
Thankfully, Heaven took pity on her and gave her a chance to live again. She returned to the age of ten, just as it had all begun.
If they poison her, she will repay them in kind. In her previous life, she was a direct disciple of the Liangji Sect, unmatched in both medicine and poison.
They really think she’s harmless? She was merely being kind and gentle.
With her Misty Rain Fan in hand and Ice-and-Fire Needles at her side, she begins her journey of outwitting her enemies, protecting her family, taking on the white lotus, and punishing the man who betrayed her.
She never expected the fearsome man she wanted to use as a backer, and happened to save, to become so attached to her.
Seven years later, when everything has settled, she finally understands the feelings behind her mother’s words: “The emperor sits in his hall, while I guard his borders.” But she understands far too late.
He says, “Qianqian, will you be my empress?”
She says, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my ambitions lie beyond the palace. I don’t wish to be confined to its depths.”
Suppressing his feelings, he lets his young woman go.
“Sect Master, the ruler of Great Qin is kneeling at our mountain gate again. Will you see him?”
