[Soul Transmigration + Revenge + Household Intrigue]
[Brave and Resourceful Illegitimate Daughter of a Prince x Cold, Scheming Older Powerbroker]
Xie Shu, daughter of the leader of the foremost sect in the martial world, was traveling alone when a man wearing a bizarre goat mask unexpectedly killed her with a single sword thrust. When she opened her eyes again, her soul had somehow entered the body of Qi Zhiyuan, the eldest daughter of Prince Yuan, who had been killed by her wicked legitimate mother.
Given a second life, Xie Shu carried the shared hatred of herself and Qi Zhiyuan, vowing to make their enemies pay with their lives.
[Two Men Vying for One Woman]
Chu She, a cold and calculating powerbroker: Raised from childhood as a tool to consolidate imperial power, he had seen every kind of treachery and deceit in the world, and grown cold-hearted and impassive. Qi Zhiyuan, with Xie Shu's soul inside her, was one of the few unexpected changes in his still, well-like life. Chu She hated being treated as a pawn or a tool, yet he willingly became a sharp blade and placed it in the hands of the woman he loved.
Yuwen Zheng, an exquisitely beautiful, sickly prince: Cruel, ruthless, and vengeful. Ethics, etiquette, wealth, and power meant nothing to him when it came to Qi Zhiyuan. Yuwen Zheng's love was as heady as strong liquor. To him, “The way I love you is by giving you my life.” Those who loved liquor drank it gladly, but to someone with no tolerance, it was a heart-piercing poison that corroded them inch by inch, inspiring nothing but fear.
Qi Zhiyuan, with Xie Shu's soul inside her, and her maid put up a huge struggle, trying to get her out of the dark woodshed where she was trapped. Just as her wicked legitimate mother, Yuwen Yi, who had eyes and ears everywhere, was about to force her back into that abyss, Chu She appeared.
But he acted as if he hadn't seen a thing and turned to leave. Qi Zhiyuan grabbed the hem of his robe. “Uncle, please save me.”
