Su Xinrou was the daughter of Su Zhiyuan, the Grand Chancellor of Great Yan, and was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Though Crown Prince Xiao An was the empress’s son, the emperor did not care for him. To secure his succession to the throne, Xiao An schemed to marry Su Xinrou. She misjudged him and failed to see through his true nature.
After Su Xinrou and the Chancellor’s household helped Xiao An ascend the throne, he turned on them. Her cousin Wei Yu disfigured her, and Xiao An killed her. Her father and older brother were falsely accused of treason and beheaded by Xiao An, while Wei Yu poisoned her mother to death. Only on the brink of death did Su Xinrou see the true faces of Xiao An and Wei Yu. She was consumed with regret, but nothing could be changed or undone. Before she died, she learned that the Regent, Xiao Jingquan, had long been in love with her, and that he had led troops into the palace.
Xiao Jingquan killed Xiao An and Wei Yu to avenge Su Xinrou, then took his own life.
Su Xinrou was reborn at the age of thirteen. Her parents and older brother were still alive, she had not yet been tricked into marrying Xiao An, and the Chancellor’s household was still intact.
Living a second life, Su Xinrou vowed not to let the scoundrels get away with it. She would protect her family and never marry Xiao An or repeat her past mistakes. In this life, she would marry only the Regent.
Reborn, Su Xinrou set out to take revenge on Xiao An and Wei Yu, and found happiness with the Regent, Xiao Jingquan.
