In the winter of the twenty-seventh year of Yong'an, Su Qingluan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, drank poisoned wine and died in the cold palace and abandoned courtyard. She once devoted all her family's power to Xiao Jingyuan and helped him rise from an idle prince to the throne, but in exchange, she had her entire family beheaded and herself imprisoned and tortured. When she was dying, she looked at Gu Yunzhou, a green plum who died to save her, and swore with tears that if there was an afterlife, Xiao Jinyuan would pay with his own blood, protect his family, and keep Gu Yunzhou safe.
When she opened her eyes again, Su Qingluan was fifteen years old again, and no tragedy had happened yet. At that time, she was still the beloved young lady of the Zhenguo Palace, and Gu Yunzhou was still silently guarding her. Xiao Jinyuan, still the prince who pretended to be gentle and elegant, was preparing to launch a "affectionate" offensive against her.
In this life, Su Qingluan put away her innocence, hid her love, and took care of herself step by step. She dealt with Xiao Jamyuan's overtures on the surface, and secretly planned to dismantle his conspiracy against the Zhenguo Palace; she took the initiative to approach Gu Yunzhou to make up for her past regrets, but found that this young man who had always been silent had already shouldered too much for her.
The court hall is turbulent, and the harem is undercurrent. On the road to revenge, Su Qingluan not only has to face Xiao Jamyuan's complicated and difficult-to-discern sincerity - he is both wary of the power of Zhenguo's government and deeply in love with her, but also has to deal with the calculations of all forces. When the truth is revealed layer by layer, and the entanglement of love and hate in the past and present life becomes more and more difficult to understand, can Su Qingluan keep her original intention and rewrite everyone's destiny?
