In her previous life, Gu Wanjiu helped the Crown Prince ascend the throne by sending her own brother to war and forcing her father to frame loyal officials.
He became emperor, then made Gu Wanjiu’s half-sister his empress.
Only then did she see the truth: everything she had done had merely paved the way for someone else.
Years later, with his throne secure, she watched her entire family beheaded, the Gu family’s fortune confiscated for the imperial treasury, and the man she loved poisoned in the emperor’s arms.
Gu Wanjiu gave him a taste of his own medicine, dying with him in a cloud of poison.
When she opened her eyes again, she was an unmarried young lady, and the scoundrel and the scheming woman were plotting against her just as they had in her previous life.
She decided to turn their scheme to her own advantage, keep playing the same arrogant, overbearing heiress, and enjoy her freedom while joining forces with her captive husband to bring down the entire dynasty!
