The Consort Shu, burdened with a lifetime of infamy, spent three whole years in the Cold Palace.
Three years ago, her entire family was wiped out, their name stained with grievances they had no way to appeal.
Her former friend, now Consort Liang, came to visit her. Only then did she learn that the other consorts had made her barren, that the Empress Dowager had approved the slander, and that all of it had been done simply because the emperor was wary of her.
From the very beginning, her Wei family had been nothing but a pawn the emperor intended to discard!
She froze to death that winter.
When she opened her eyes again, Wei Ningzhi found herself in the body of Zhu Wanqing, the notorious vicious legitimate daughter who had taken the capital by storm.
Zhu Wanqing's reputation preceded her. Everyone who saw her fled as if she were a venomous snake. Little did they know that the Zhu family's fake heiress was the real snake.
The Wei family was gone. Given another chance at life, she would carve a bloody path forward, taking everyone's lives with her, to clear her family's name and ensure Zhu Wanqing's innocence was remembered!
