Shen Qingci, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, trusted the wrong people in her previous life. Her half-sister Shen Qingrou and her husband, Prince Jing Zhao Heng, betrayed her together. As her entire family was executed, she swore in her own blood that if she ever had another life, she would make the treacherous pair pay for their crimes in blood. As the flames consumed her, she was reborn on the eve of her fifteenth birthday ceremony. At that time, her half-sister had yet to fully reveal her false kindness, Prince Jing’s tenderness was still wrapped in honey, her family was still prosperous, and none of the tragedies had happened yet. In this life, Shen Qingci keeps her talents hidden and plans each step carefully: she tears away her half-sister’s virtuous facade, exposes Prince Jing’s treacherous ambitions, protects her family, and reclaims everything that belongs to her. Drawing on her memories of her previous life, she navigates the turbulent inner household and imperial court, rising from a sheltered noble daughter to the power behind the throne. She also unexpectedly becomes entangled with Xiao Che, the seventh prince and god of war, whom she had only brushed past in her previous life. As hatred and affection intertwine and the game grows ever more complex, can Shen Qingci truly rewrite her fate and make everyone who wronged her pay the most terrible price?
