Jiang Shu is the legitimate daughter of a third-rate family in the capital. Her father shows her no affection and her mother gives her no love. She grows up enduring contempt from everyone around her. When she tries to secure a marriage for herself, she offends the wrong person, is imprisoned and tortured, and eventually dies a horrible death.
Reborn, she becomes calculating, thinking three steps ahead for every one she takes. She schemes her way into becoming the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household and completely escapes the fate she suffered in her previous life. But when a sudden upheaval arrives, it awakens her ambition, which surges wildly like weeds.
Jiang Shu refuses to be merely someone else's appendage.
She wants a love between equals, and a sincere heart hidden beneath layer upon layer of schemes.
He is the ruthless, cold-blooded minister of legend. Whatever he wants, he will find a way to obtain. He wants to watch the realm descend into chaos, to set a wildfire and cleanse the sins of this absurd dynasty.
He thought he would spend his whole life this way, immersed in the Game of Thrones and reveling in the clash of wits, until he met her.
