At the moment Shen Qingyan died with hatred in her heart, she finally realized that the people she thought were her own flesh and blood were all wolves in human clothing. Her seemingly gentle half-sister was a vicious demon bent on killing her, her loving stepmother was the true culprit behind her birth mother's poisoning, and the Crown Prince's honeyed words were just another scheme to destroy her family and drive her into ruin.
Reborn with a thousandfold hatred, she returns to the time before her fifteenth birthday. Her birth mother has just died, her stepmother has only just taken her rightful place, and her half-sister has yet to bare her fangs. The tragedy has not yet come to pass!
In this life, she casts aside her obedient facade and plans every step carefully. She audits her dowry accounts and uncovers evidence that her stepmother embezzled a fortune of one hundred thousand taels. She sneaks into Huguo Temple to investigate, exposing the truth that her birth mother was slowly poisoned. At a banquet in the Eastern Palace, she fearlessly throws down the evidence, leaving her stepmother and half-sister disgraced and with nowhere to hide!
She no longer avoids Prince Jing, Xiao Jue, notorious for his cold and ruthless nature. Only then does she realize that the jade pendant protecting her heart, which she had once discarded as worthless, was the token of his lifelong devotion, kept hidden from her. From purging the household accounts to solving cases at the Court of Judicial Review, he remains the quietest and most dependable ally on her path to revenge.
The legitimate daughter of the marquis's household was never meant to be a caged bird. She takes up the pieces and turns the game around, swearing to repay blood with blood! When old grudges are finally settled, the peace charm engraved with “Yan” and “Jue” brings her a love that crosses the boundary between life and death, and a lifetime of peace, security, and happiness!
