In his previous life, Wan Zhi was a high-ranking court official, but he was betrayed by his trusted aide Qin Huai'an and others, including Su Cheng. He died with his name disgraced, and his family was destroyed. Reborn with his memories of the past, he resolves to seek revenge and protect his family. But at first, he lacks the strength to do so, and the trauma of his past betrayal clouds his judgment. His former enemies notice something is different about him and are poised to strike a fatal blow, while the traitors try to undermine the new network of allies he has built. With time running out, Wan Zhi must use his wits and foreknowledge to clear up misunderstandings, rebuild trust, lay the groundwork for revenge, and defy fate to turn the tide. Otherwise, he will lose everything all over again.
