In her previous life, Shen Qingci was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace of the Dajing Dynasty. She was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her temperament was as gentle as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. But she mistakenly believed in two people - Shen Qingyao, the concubine whom she regarded as her own sister, and Gu Yanze, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, the son of the Minister of Rites. After the wedding ceremony, Shen Qingyao designed to slander her for having an affair. Gu Yanze not only failed to distinguish the authenticity, but also took the opportunity to expose the false evidence of "corruption in the Prime Minister's Office" (actually he and Shen Qingyao teamed up to forge it). Overnight, everyone in the prime minister's house was executed, and the blood of his father and brother was sprinkled on the execution ground. Shen Qingci was stripped of his pipa bones and imprisoned in a dark room. In the end, Shen Qingyao stood in front of her wearing her wedding dress, holding poisoned wine, and said with a smile: "Sister, your identity, your engagement, and your family are all mine from now on." In the severe pain of being burned by the fire, Shen Qingci cried and swore blood: If there is an afterlife, she must let this couple of bitches taste the pain she has suffered, protect the safety of the Shen family, and go against this damn fate!
As soon as he opened his eyes, Shen Qingci went back to the age of fifteen and the eve of his haircut ceremony. The magnolias were blooming just outside the window, and on the table was the hairdress her mother had embroidered for her before she was alive. The personal maid, Wanyue, was coming in with a soothing soup. This was the beginning of her nightmare in her previous life. The bowl of soup was filled with a drug that would make her lose her temper the next day. This time, Shen Qingci suppressed the hatred in his eyes, stroked the bird pattern on his dress with his fingertips, and raised the corners of his lips in a cold arc. Not only does she want revenge, but she also wants to find someone truly worthy of her trust in the whirlpool of intrigues in the backyard and court, and work side by side with him to break the shackles of feudal ethics and create an unfettered world for herself, the Shen family, and her lover.
