[The male lead is chaste; the female lead is not. Revenge, divorce, mystery, and redemption]
Shen Yan is famous throughout the Sheng Kingdom for being a timid empress.

Even as the emperor looks upon the bodies of the three of them, he remains utterly indifferent.
By chance, she receives help from a System and is reborn once more.
She decides to escape this den of demons... but before she leaves, she has to make those who bullied them suffer.
The next day,
She charges into the great hall and points a finger at the emperor in front of all the court officials. “I want a divorce! Bring me the divorce decree. The children are coming with me!”
Word spreads that the empress woke from her coma a changed woman, and now no one in the palace can win an argument against her.
The favored consort keeps provoking trouble, ordering the deaths of many officials, noble families, and consorts. The palace harem is turned upside down. Then the second prince causes her to lose her child at a banquet. After she has finally managed to welcome back the Empress Dowager, who has shown her extraordinary affection, she unexpectedly discovers that there is more to the death of the late empress’s older sister than meets the eye.

As the clues come together, the hidden truth leaves Shen Yan stunned...
