My younger sister He Zhi and I are both daughters of the General's Manor, but we have never gotten along.
My betrothed is the handsome and distinguished Prince Jing, while my sister kneels before our parents and begs them to make me give him up. She threatens to starve herself, and our parents have no choice but to agree.
But Prince Jing already has someone he loves: his concubine, the woman he fell for at first sight. Still, Father petitions the emperor on my sister's behalf, and the emperor issues an edict. Prince Jing has no choice but to marry her and make her his princess consort. After she enters his household, Prince Jing devotes himself to doting on his concubine. My sister endures nothing but cold treatment and becomes the laughingstock of the capital.
I, meanwhile, marry Prince An, who has always kept a low profile. In the end, Prince An ascends the throne, and I become the most honored empress in the realm.
My sister is consumed by resentment toward me. After a palace banquet, she comes to my chambers and pays me a visit, then assassinates me, taking us both to our deaths.
But to our surprise, we are reborn together!
This time, my sister still kneels before our parents, but the man she wants to marry now is Prince An.
“Elder Sister, this time I'll definitely win!”
But she has no idea how bitter life in the imperial palace can be, or how carefully I had to tread in my previous life.
