Synopsis

In her previous life, Shen Wanzhi was the timid concubine-born daughter of the Minister's household. Her legitimate elder sister, Shen Fenghua, schemed against her, turning her from a young lady awaiting marriage into a maid who shared her sister's husband's bed. In the depths of the Marquis's manor, after her sister had wrung every last bit of value from her, Shen Wanzhi was branded a harlot, beaten to death, and wrapped in a straw mat.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of fifteen, just as her sister was making a hypocritical offer for them to marry into the Marquis's household together, with Shen Wanzhi serving as her “helper.”

This time, Shen Wanzhi's gaze was ice-cold, and a fire burned in her heart. Smiling, she accepted this “path to the heavens.”

If fate meant for her to begin at the very bottom as a bedchamber maid, then she would make the manor her playing board and plot every move carefully. She would seize the glory her sister cherished, her husband's favor, and even the fate of the entire family, one by one, and trample them underfoot!

She would show them all that even an ant can swallow an elephant, and even a favored concubine can rise to the heavens!
