In her previous life, Ling Xin'er was set up by her stepmother, Madam Liu, and her half-sister, Ling Wan'er. They drugged her and made her marry into the seemingly fallen Duke of Anguo's household in her sister's place, while Ling Wan'er took her place as the bride of her fiance, Chen Jun, heir to the Marquis of Yongning. Ling Xin'er endured contempt in the Duke of Anguo's household, yet poured her heart and soul into helping her husband pass the imperial examinations and enter officialdom, supporting him all the way to the highest offices. But when he stood at the pinnacle of power, she was repaid with betrayal by him and Ling Wan'er. Falsely accused of infidelity, she was drowned in a lotus pond and died with a grudge.
Reborn on the day the marriage swaps take place, Ling Xin'er coldly tears up her exquisite wedding dress. In this life, she will no longer be a pawn for others to manipulate! She chooses to marry into a "humble family" of her own accord, because she remembers that her husband, who was cold as ice in her previous life and eventually wielded power over the court, was actually a royal heir whose identity was hidden. She will also personally drag into hell those who betrayed, bullied, and harmed her!
She plots at every turn, outsmarts her stepmother, ruthlessly punishes her half-sister, and exposes her hypocritical fiance. She will also make the husband who neglected her in her previous life treasure her above all others and dote on her like no one else.
However, just when she thinks she has everything under control, she discovers that Ouyang Xingye in this life seems completely different from the man in her memories... Why is his gaze already filled with curiosity and... burning intensity?
