In her previous life, He Jiaojiao was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's eldest branch, raised in luxury and treated like a precious jewel. She never imagined she would spend her whole life being used as a pawn.
Her father exploited her to gain power and influence. After she married, her husband used her to climb the social ladder.
They scripted her life, took everything from her, and trampled on her body and dignity to raise the illegitimate daughter of the second branch into the Marquis's most dazzling jewel.
Her husband then sent her to the bed of a lecherous old prince. She died without a sound, and her corpse was dumped in the outskirts for wild dogs to devour.
After being reborn, she was once again made a pawn and pushed into the game. With no way to retreat, she would overturn the whole board!
She would have her revenge.
She would outscheme her treacherous father.
She would leave her biased brothers to fend for themselves.
She would break off her engagement to her scheming fiance!
Those who wanted her dead would die by her hand!
When the truth came to light, they knelt and begged for a chance to live. She could barely stand to look at them, and would never forgive them!
Then she unexpectedly gained a husband: Wei Chao, the handsome-faced general of the imperial court. He had a hidden affliction that supposedly made him unable to consummate a marriage. She used marriage as an excuse to escape the Marquis's residence. It was a godsend, and they hit it off at once!
Although her convenient husband had a hidden affliction and was stern and taciturn, when he stood by her with solemn resolve and crushed his enemies, she knew she'd chosen the right man!
But one morning after their wedding, she opened her eyes with every limb aching, only to learn...
Damn it! The intelligence was wrong. Who on earth started the rumor that he had a hidden affliction and couldn't consummate a marriage?!
