[Both leads are reborn and secretly in love + ambitious heroine's transformation + bold heroine + woman disguises herself as a man + both leads are devoted to each other]
To avenge her mother's death, Jiang Ningzhao disguised herself as a man and went to the capital. She spent half her life plotting, brought down the Duchess of the State of Duke, and inherited her father's title. She killed the empress in a fit of rage and helped her young brother ascend the throne...
By her thirties, she had avenged her great wrong. Everyone in the realm knew her as a wicked schemer, and rumors even claimed she had murdered her father and the emperor, committing every evil imaginable.
By then, Jiang Ningzhao was deeply poisoned and had only days to live. Branded a wicked powerbroker, she had confined herself to her own estate. Then news came that Fu Bai'an had died suddenly. Overcome with grief, she suffered a fit of rage, and the poison took her life.
In a world-shaking dream, Jiang Ningzhao returned to the age of twenty. Everything was still part of her plan, and nothing had happened yet.
Jiang Ningzhao meant to make amends to herself, and to a few people who had turned out to be rather decent. But as she dug deeper, she realized things were not as she had imagined, and Fu Bai'an seemed to know more than he should.
In her past life, she had avoided power like a flood. So why was she stepping into the fray alone this time?
“I'm so glad I get to see you again.”
