Yang Ninglan, empress of Great Yan, devoted half her life to supporting the emperor, only to be repaid with betrayal and a tragic death.
When she opened her eyes again, her soul had transmigrated into the body of the ninth daughter of the Song family in Jing.
Qining City fell beneath a sky ablaze with war. Her father fought to protect her, giving his life for the city.
She thought the Song household would be a place to return to, but behind its walls, every family member had their own schemes, laying traps at every turn.
Armed with fragments of evidence and old plans, the former empress who once ruled the realm refuses to remain a sheltered young woman confined by propriety.
In this life, she seeks neither crown nor finery, only the freedom to live as she pleases and take charge of her own destiny.
As for that Little Marquis Lu everyone talks about?
Well, he certainly is handsome, but for now, he is not part of her plans.
