[Important note: The word "beloved by all" remains in the title, but the story has no male lead or romance plot, and does not follow a sweet, doting romance. Its core is the reborn legitimate daughter seeking revenge through political scheming, court maneuvering, and protecting her family.]
As Xie Yun lay dying in a little cabin atop a mountain where she had been imprisoned, that despicable pair came to tell her that not a single soul in the entire Xie household had been spared.
Only then did she finally see clearly that her once-close friend from her maiden days had long been conspiring with her husband.
The two were utterly treacherous, plotting her downfall step by step.
The Xie family had always served as upright officials and never meddled in the corrupt struggle for the throne. Because they refused to choose sides and pledge allegiance, they were framed with fabricated charges, and the entire family died unjustly.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the moment before that worthless man and wicked woman could carry out their schemes.
She kept a low profile and planned each move carefully, shedding her former innocence. She steadied the household and fought off threats from outside, turning her family's fate around one step at a time. She exposed the plots of every faction and protected the family who had once sheltered her.
The great clans, imperial authority, powerful ministers... In this life, she saw more clearly the intricate web woven by the previous generation.
