Shen Qingxian, a Grand Princess who held immense power at court, spent her life working tirelessly, only to be driven to her death, blood spilling from the city walls, by her own younger brother and her beloved consort.
When she opens her eyes again, she is back on the day her marriage was arranged.
She worked herself to the bone in her previous life and died horribly? This time, she’s decided to give up completely!
She will build gardens, keep “male companions,” and spend money like water, becoming a thoroughly useless beauty.
Everyone laughs and says she’s gone mad. Only Lin Weiyue, her sister-in-law in name, looks at her with dazzlingly bright eyes.
“Sister-in-law! My brother is no good. I’m on your side!”
Shen Qingxian sneers. What new trick is this?
Until Lin Weiyue offers her brilliant schemes and helps her make money by the day; shields her from danger with her own body; and, when nightmares trap her, drives away every shadow with a warm embrace…
Only then does Shen Qingxian realize that this young woman, who claims to have come from another world, is the sweetest sugar and sharpest blade on her path to revenge.
Later…
Her rotten brother kneels and begs. “Little sister, why are you helping an outsider?”
Lin Weiyue loops her arm through Shen Qingxian’s and smiles brightly. “Sorry, I transmigrated across a thousand years just to come to her.”
The foolish emperor tries to seize her power, only to see the two of them standing side by side: one commands the power of the realm, while the other controls all the wealth in the world.
