In her previous life, Shen Qingli was the legitimate daughter of her family. She followed the rules and, for her family’s sake, married the cold-faced Prince Gu Yanzhou. She willingly became a shield for Su Qianyue, his beloved first love, only to be cast aside like a worn-out shoe amid the struggle for power and die with hatred in her heart.
Reborn at the age of fifteen, she vows to overturn the course of her previous life. She no longer tries to please her family or meet Gu Yanzhou’s expectations. Instead, she takes the initiative to approach the general Xiao Jingheng, the “Demon” everyone in the capital avoids. In her previous life, she had no connection to him, yet he was the man who would eventually shake the court to its foundations.
With her foresight, Shen Qingli repeatedly appears at Xiao Jingheng’s side when he is in danger, proves her worth, and forms a mutually beneficial alliance with him. She stops pretending to be gentle and reveals her sharp edge, carefully advancing within her family to reclaim the power that belongs to her. At the same time, she discovers that Gu Yanzhou seems to retain memories of his previous life, and has developed a crazed obsession with the changes in her… Is this rebirth a gift from fate, or the beginning of an even greater game of human nature? Amid the whirlpool of revenge, political scheming, and love, Shen Qingli redefines her life.
