In her previous life, she was the legitimate daughter of Chancellor Ke, and her fiance was the third son of Prince Wu Zhao. They were perfectly matched in status, a handsome and talented couple whom everyone in Shengjing envied. But a riot left her fiance and father and brothers dead, while Chancellor Ke was thrown into prison. She became a jinx hated by everyone.
Her own mother resented her and kept her in line with rules for women. Her future mother-in-law harmed her, bundling her off to the bed of the Living King of Hell. In public, she was the "Monument to Chastity," praised by the emperor himself. In private, however, she was forced to have an affair with that same King of Hell...
The twisted relationship tormented her, a girl raised to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Yet the two people at the heart of the story became ever more entangled. In their affair, she naively thought it was love, but the truth hit her hard: she was nothing but a pawn on Pei Fu and the Imperial Consort's path to rebellion...
During a military coup, she became a discarded pawn. As she lay dying, the Imperial Consort told her the truth with a smile. Her father, revered by all, had not died of illness. He had been brutally killed through a web of conspiracy. How could she not hate them?!
Reborn into another life, everyone who wronged her will pay the price, tooth for tooth and blood for blood.
She cuts through every obstacle to take revenge with her own hands, only to learn unexpectedly that her most beloved father had always been wary of her while he was alive. This was also one of the reasons her birth mother despised her. Fate drives her from place to place. In a chaotic age, all she wants is a peaceful life, yet she unexpectedly embarks on the path to becoming a prince and chancellor.
