Su Xiyue was the legitimate daughter of the Earl's household, yet she sacrificed herself for her family and ended up hated by everyone.
Only as she lay dying did she learn that her family had caused every tragedy in her life.
Her father personally pushed her into a living hell, and the stepmother she respected was the murderer of her birth mother. Su Xiyue died with hatred in her heart.
Reborn, Su Xiyue is once again sent by her family to the bed of a treacherous minister. She turns around and clings to his coattails instead.
Su Xiyue willingly plays the obedient substitute. “My lord, you have to be my protector. I can only count on you for revenge.”
The treacherous minister replies, “I'll go to the ends of the earth for you. I'll even pluck the stars from the sky.”
The palace's original substitute empress dowager gets jealous.
Su Xiyue says, “We're both substitutes, so what makes you better than me? Don't worry. As soon as I've had my revenge, I'll disappear at once.”
The treacherous minister says, “Just try it!”
