In her previous life, Shen Zhiyuan was the daughter of a loyal official, but her uncle's family imprisoned her in a secluded courtyard and poisoned her until she became a living corpse, unable to move or speak.
They trampled over her remains and seized the vast inheritance her parents had left her, while raising her cousin Shen Zhiqing to a life of luxury. As she endured endless torment, she heard the terrible news that her uncle, the only person who had ever cared for her, and his entire family had been executed. She died consumed by hatred.
Reborn in the midst of an encirclement by street thugs, she stumbles into the arms of the man no one in the capital dares offend: Xie Wuwang, the commander of the Imperial Guard Bureau.
Reborn, Shen Zhiyuan will never be anyone's stepping stone again.
She will use Xie Wuwang, the sharpest blade of all, to wipe out every petty villain from her past life.
What she doesn't know is that this feared god of slaughter is actually Brother Lan, the boy she has searched for over ten years.
Later, her hypocritical aunt and vicious cousin kneel at her feet, weeping and begging her to forgive them for the sake of their blood ties.
Shen Zhiyuan sneers. “Forgive you? What I want is for the Earl of Anyuan's family to never rise again!”
Everyone says Commander Xie is cold, cruel, and ruthless, and that merely hearing his title from afar is enough to silence a crying child.
But all he does is whisper in her ear, his voice hoarse: “Don't be afraid. I'm here.”
At first, he grips her by the throat and studies the peach-blossom birthmark beside her neck, his voice as cold as a blade. “Who are you?”
Later, in a room filled with warmth and fragrance, he holds her close and kisses away her tears, his eyes full of tenderness. “Be good, little one. Brother Lan is here, and I'll always be here.”
