In her previous life, Lin Wanqing followed her concubine mother’s arrangements and married an unfavored illegitimate son of the Cheng family. Her legitimate younger sister, Lin Mengyao, was betrothed to the heir apparent and married into a marquis’s household.
But the marquis’s household became embroiled in a struggle for the throne, and in the end, the family was confiscated and exiled.
Meanwhile, the illegitimate son Lin Wanqing married rose swiftly through the ranks to become a mighty general. He even used his military achievements to secure her a first-rank noblewoman’s title. After saving her younger sister, he was betrayed and killed by her.
When Lin Wanqing opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the moment before the marriage negotiations.
In this life, Lin Mengyao stole the husband who had originally been meant for her, while Lin Wanqing took her place in the marquis’s household.
This time, Lin Wanqing had already seen through everything.
What Lin Mengyao didn’t know was that every bit of the seemingly glorious life she had lived was the result of her own careful plotting, step by step. The illegitimate son might not rise to prominence again on his own merits alone.
In this life, Lin Wanqing would let her enjoy the glory of being mistress of the marquis’s household.
