Rebirth + clearing a wrongful conviction + two-faced noblewoman + powerful prince + dual secret identities + chaste male lead and non-virgin female lead in her previous life + personal growth
The He family is framed and sentenced to execution. He Jiyue, the Chancellor’s only daughter, is reborn with memories of her previous life.
In this life, she’ll no longer be bound by the expectations of a proper young lady. All she wants is to survive, escape, find her maternal family as her mother instructed, and clear the Chancellor’s name!
Deputy General Chen takes a fancy to her at first sight?
Then she’ll use him to get out of the Imperial City Bureau.
He Jiyue enters the Imperial City Bureau three times and escapes three times.
She kills its informants and gravely injures its experts,
bringing the Imperial City Bureau to seal off the city and hunt for her.
With no other choice, He Jiyue hides in Furong Pavilion, a den of pleasure with powerful connections.
What? The poor deputy general she once shared a bed with is actually Prince Yan of the Great Liang, a rising court favorite, and Nan Weilin, the Imperial City Bureau’s Deputy Commissioner?
He Jiyue is stunned, then takes to the run again. He was behind the wrongful case against the He family in her previous life, and she won’t let him get his way this time.
The daughter of a condemned official takes on a new identity and manages to survive.
But no one knows the truth about her adoptive father’s wrongful conviction. She’ll investigate!
And she’s tangled up with Prince Yan again.
She runs, he pursues. She advances, he retreats. Amid danger and fear, the two gradually fall for each other.
Her husband from her previous life keeps pursuing her in this one, so she’ll break off the engagement.
The daughter of his childhood friend wants to marry Prince Yan, but Nan Weilin will marry no one but Yue’er!
The investigation uncovers secrets from the late Emperor’s reign, and Nan Weilin is cast aside by the court and rejected by the world.
“Weilin, your brother accepts you.”
“Nan Weilin, we’re counting on you to make it big and get us promoted and rich!”
“Nan Weilin, you’re such a good man! I accept you. We’re all descendants of condemned officials, after all.”
“Yue’er, you’re so good too...”
