Before I was reborn, I was the stupidest legitimate daughter in the marquis's household, poisoned by my half-sister and the crown prince.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at fifteen.
In my past life, I was infatuated with the crown prince. In this life, I plan every step carefully, all to send him to hell.
Gu Yan, the powerful minister of the court, is seventeen years older than me and the crown prince's most feared enemy.
I brought him pastries I had made myself and knelt outside his study. “I would be honored to become a blade in the marquis's hand.”
He lifted my chin. “Daughter of the Shen family, becoming my wife would be far more interesting than becoming my blade.”
On our wedding night, he traced the mark left on my neck by the poisoned wine in my past life. “Does it hurt?”
Later, after the crown prince's coup failed, he grabbed me by the throat and demanded to know why I had betrayed him.
Coughing up blood, Gu Yan shielded me behind him. “Touch her? Ask your own father whether he'd allow it.”
