In her previous life, Lin Ruoli, the eldest daughter of the General Zhenyuan Mansion, was innocent and kind, but she was plotted by her stepmother and concubine. She fell out of favor with the family and was forced to marry a prodigal son. Eventually, her family was ruined and she was buried in a sea of fire. Reborn at the age of 18, she returned with the hatred of her previous life and the wisdom of the present, vowing to make her enemies pay with blood.
In this life, facing the machinations of her stepmother and concubine, she used every trick to show off her tricks. She overwhelmed everyone with her amazing talent and knowledge at the family banquet, and she also saw through the slander of the mysterious woman. Her first appearance attracted the attention of Su Yichen, the son of Prince Ning. Su Yichen has great ambitions, and wants to overthrow the ignorant king and establish a new dynasty. Because of their common goals and ideals, the two gradually get closer, and their love secretly arises.
However, the road to love is full of thorns. The jealousy and frame-up of Su Yichen's cousin Xiao Ya caused many misunderstandings between the two; the mysterious forces within the family colluded with foreign enemies in an attempt to subvert the general's government; in the court, the coup plan was accidentally leaked, and they fell into a life-or-death crisis...
See how Lin Ruoli manages step by step in the house fights and intrigues, growing from a girl in the boudoir who is at the mercy of others to a ruthless schemer; and see how she and Su Yichen join hands to stand out from the turbulent court battles, compose a love-hate legend that spans conspiracy and war, and jointly create a prosperous chapter!
