Lin Wei, a modern-day corporate drone, dies suddenly and is reborn as Zhao Ning, a falsely accused County Lady of Anyuan in the Great Yan dynasty. As she lies on the verge of death in a woodshed, she clenches her fists. In this life, she will never let anyone walk all over her again.
Her sweet-faced cousin plots behind her smile? Lin Wei exposes her poisoning scheme on the spot and humiliates her in public. A lovesick prince becomes possessive? She points an arrow straight at his throat and teaches him about boundaries. Her adoptive parents mistreat and humiliate her? She flips the table and fights back, taking back everything that belongs to her.
Then an unexpected complication enters the picture: Xiao Lang, heir to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s household and one of the capital’s most notorious playboys, takes a liking to this “thorny rose.”
“Your Ladyship, need any help chopping wood?”
“Get lost.”
But when she’s surrounded, he grins and steps in front of her. “You think you can touch the woman I protect?”
From a discarded girl in the woodshed to the powerful County Lady of Anyuan, she plans every move carefully. She’ll tear off the green tea’s fake mask, cut off the lovesick prince’s obsession, and clear her wrongfully deceased birth mother’s name. The playboy heir who’s always teasing her turns out to be the strongest support on her path to revenge.
When the haughty county lady meets the outrageous young heir, household and palace intrigues get all tangled up, and her road to revenge takes a surprisingly sweet turn. Watch this reborn county lady gracefully dish out face-slapping justice and trample her enemies underfoot, while also bringing a marquis home.
