When Gu Xi is brought back to the family home and sees her biological older sister, she feels unbearably inferior.
One is a star in the heavens, the other a speck of dust in the mud.
One lives in luxury, a princess in a palace. The other struggles to survive and is mocked and ridiculed by everyone as a jinx.
The first condition for bringing her back into the Gu family is that she bear a child for her sister's fiancé, Song Liancheng.
Once it's done, she wants to drag him into the swamp, down into the dust, and into the filthy mortal world.
But she never expected that she would be the only one sinking deeper and deeper.
He remains as godlike as ever, aloof and untouchable, cold and noble.
“Song Liancheng, did you ever like me, even for a moment?”
“You're just a tool. Don't covet what was never meant to be yours.”
