[Household intrigue + political scheming + a touch of ensemble cast + plot-driven + a hint of mystery]
(The heroine looks poised and innocent, but she’s calculating to the core. She plans carefully, step by step, as she takes revenge on the scoundrel and uncovers the truth.)
(The hero is strikingly handsome and unruly. He pretends to be a reckless fool, but he’s just as calculating beneath the surface, and a formidable martial artist.)
Watch as these two formidable forces join hands, proceed one careful step at a time, and finally clear away the clouds...
The eldest daughter of the Gu family, a high-ranking official’s legitimate daughter, lost her mother young. She married a poor scholar and spent ten years by his side, believing they would grow old together in love. But once the scholar passed the imperial examinations, he married a princess who had once been sent away in a political marriage.
Even the maid who had been by her side day and night, as close as a sister, and the son she had raised herself turned out to be the hands that killed her.
She thought death would bring release, but instead she was reborn. Now she must find a way to dismantle every demon and schemer in her path.
Xiao Ye, the eldest legitimate grandson of the Duke’s household, is as unruly and striking as his name suggests, with a deeply calculating mind. He was orphaned at a young age, surrounded by predators on all sides. Watch as he fights to survive through the layers of deception.
To outsiders, she is poised and refined. Only around him does she bare her fangs and reveal her meticulous schemes.
Everyone else thinks she’s sweet and well-behaved. Only he knows she’s a black-hearted lotus dressed in white.
Good looking, clear logic
