On the eve of her death from cold and hunger in the cave, Wang Baochuan was reborn at the pivotal moment when she first met Xue Pinggui and her father, Wang Yun, pressured her to choose a husband. She now knew all too well how cold-hearted Xue Pinggui was, what schemes Wei Hu had plotted, and how vulnerable her family was amid the political turmoil. Determined to sever a misguided love, she would take control of her wealth and make her voice heard.
The central conflicts: rewriting her own fate while navigating her family’s political loyalties; building strength through wealth and contending with the forces at court; guarding against “love” as new feelings begin to emerge; and facing the entanglements and striking back against enemies from her previous life, such as Xue Pinggui and Wei Hu.
