Su Mingwei died on the snowy New Year's Eve, and a glass of poisonous wine ended her life as the royal daughter-in-law. Only then did she realize that behind the execution of the whole family lay a shocking conspiracy between the third prince and her husband's family. Xie Yunlan, the son-in-law from a poor family whom she had despised for many years, was actually the only one who tried to overturn the case for the Su family, and ended up being executed in Lingchi.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the age of fifteen and the eve of her haircut ceremony. The bronze mirror reflected the girl's youthfulness that had not faded away, but the burning pain of the poisonous wine still remained in her palms. In this life, she tore up her engagement with the third prince, ignored the ridicule of the noble ladies in the city, and insisted on dragging the thin figure in the washed green shirt, standing in the cold wind, into the wealthy gate of the Taifu Mansion.
"Xie Lang, did you know that you would be in power in the future?" She smiled like a flower and handed the scalding hot tea into his cold and red hands.
Xie Yunlan raised his eyes, and there was a pool of coldness in his eyes that could not be healed. Why did this noble girl who abandoned him like a shoe in her previous life suddenly change her temperament?
From being a poor student in the Imperial College to becoming the prime minister, Xie Yunlan's official career was astonishing at every step. In the case of fraud in the examination room, she used her past life memories to find key evidence; in the turmoil of the prince's succession, she used herself as a woman to set up a subtle chess game; not even the secret schemes of the concubines in the harem could escape her discernment.
Everyone is grateful that the Prime Minister has a virtuous wife, but they don't know that this couple, who seem to respect each other as if they were guests, has already been closely intertwined with each other's fate through repeated trials and support. When Xie Yunlan finally stood at the top of power and looked back, he realized that the woman who always offered him a light when he was in trouble had already changed his life beyond recognition.
