[Must Read] Only after being reborn did she realize how foolishly she had lived in her previous life! In the capital’s political arena, one wrong step could mean utter ruin!
A noble legitimate daughter? The Crown Princess? She was nothing but a pawn in someone else’s hands, destined to lose her family and everything she held dear. Jiang Xuening awakens with a heart full of hatred, only to discover she has returned to the very beginning of her fate. This time, she sees everyone for who they really are: the hypocritical empress, her vicious cousin, the cold-hearted crown prince... Danger lurks all around her, and the court seethes with hidden currents. She proceeds cautiously, keeping her talents concealed, struggling to survive in the cracks between those in power. All she wants is to protect her family and bide her time. But why does someone always refuse to leave her alone?
The Fifth Prince, who appears frail but secretly has everything under his control, keeps showing up to rescue her from danger, only to cage her in the palm of his hand and whisper coldly, “You belong to me.” Is this sincere protection, or an even deeper scheme to possess her? How will a slow-burn heroine navigate the abyss of court intrigue, maneuver among rival powers, temper herself into steel in the face of despair, and ultimately find a sliver of hope and... an unexpected destiny?
