In her previous life, Gu Minghui helped Lu Heng ascend the throne, diligently managing the Eastern Palace and navigating the powerful families. But when his great ambition was finally achieved, she was repaid with the destruction of her family and the loss of everyone she loved.
Only then did she realize it had all been a lie.
Reborn, she returned to the day of her wedding.
Just as she was worrying about how to change her fate, Lu Heng took the initiative to petition the emperor to marry her younger half-sister instead.
Secretly relieved to have finally escaped her cage, she vowed to change her family’s fate and avenge her loved ones in this life.

Lu Heng’s advisor is still struggling in a bandit den? She’ll find a way to recruit him.
Lu Heng wants to kill the general who discovered his secret? She’ll save him.

“I have troops.”
Then... let’s take it.
