Synopsis

In her previous life, she was Xiao Zhuohua, the most spoiled Ninth Princess of the Dayin Dynasty. She trusted her hypocritical imperial brothers without question. But the young guard who always followed in her shadow, silently protecting her, shielded her broken body with his own as she lay dying...

In her past life, her own family betrayed her, stripped her of power, mutilated her, and threw her into a pigsty to await a miserable death. Only he stayed by her side to the very end, accompanying her into the afterlife...

“Your Highness... the road to the underworld is cold... This servant... will go ahead and clear the way for you.”

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to her bold, headstrong youth. In this life, she swore to tear away the masks of the hypocrites and make everyone who had bullied or betrayed her pay in blood! And the shadow guard who had died for her before: this time, she would protect him with all her might.

“Your Highness, I am lowly and unworthy...” He knelt with his head bowed, daring not to meet her gaze.

But she grabbed him by the wrist, her eyes blazing. “If I say you’re worthy, then you are!”

This time, it’s my turn to spoil you.

(Power struggles + loyal shadow guard + princess reborn to seek revenge + mutual redemption)
