[A sweet-on-the-outside, ruthless-within flower seeking revenge × a scheming, unhinged regent. Household power struggles × the whole family paying for their sins × no forgiveness]
Jiang Shiyuan risked her life to lift the Jiang family from the lowest ranks of the nobility to become one of the capital's rising powers.
But while she was recuperating, her family found the younger sister they had lost many years ago.
By the time she returned to the capital,
all her family's affection and her revered status in Shengjing had gone to her younger sister. Even the prince she had been promised to since childhood had vowed to spend his life with her.
In the end, Jiang Shiyuan died because of her sister.
Given a second life,
Jiang Shiyuan plotted at every turn, drawing closer step by step to Shen Yanzhou, the regent who held all the power in the realm.
The two joined forces and made their plans.
With his help, she reclaimed everything that belonged to her and made sure the entire Jiang family met a gruesome end.
He, in turn, relied on her cleverness to suppress the ministers and quell calamities, and to keep his concubines in check and eliminate spies.
Once he was firmly established at court, Jiang Shiyuan turned and walked away.
Shen Yanzhou: “As long as you stay by my side, Princess Consort, I'll give you anything you want.”
Jiang Shiyuan: “What if I want your life?”
