A sweet-looking schemer x a ruthless emperor
Jiang Miao is reborn. In her previous life, she devoted herself entirely to wishing her parents well and finding a good husband, only to be harmed by her childhood sweetheart and an outsider, then abandoned by her parents.
Reborn, Jiang Miao learns to put herself first.
She no longer thinks of her parents in everything she does, nor does she pour her whole heart into her childhood sweetheart and fiancé.
Jiang Miao's parents assume she is willing to accept the arrival of a distant cousin and praise her for being sensible.
Her childhood sweetheart and fiancé assumes she is broad-minded and willing to let his junior fellow disciple enter his household as a co-wife.
Just as everyone is praising Jiang Miao for being so understanding, a sudden fire breaks out, and she perishes in the flames.
Then the Jiang family falls, and her childhood sweetheart is left crippled.
The happiness they once knew is gone.

Six months later, the officials gather to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but the Jiang family can't take their eyes off the woman seated beside the emperor, the current empress and mistress of the central palace.
Isn't that Jiang Miao, who died?
