[An alternate Wei-Jin setting + lovers who fight as fiercely as they love + star-crossed passion + melodrama + a sickly, calculating, self-serving heroine]
The woman envied most by all the ladies of Jiankang is Cui Youning.
In her previous life, she abandoned her husband, who was no scion of a prominent clan, seduced an emperor who was in love with her younger sister, then switched sides to the King of Kuaiji when he seized power.
In the end, weakened by indulgence and the imbalance of her heart and kidneys, she died.
In this life, she wants to become a Daoist nun who controls everything and renounces love.
But the men she once schemed so hard to seduce remain entangled with her.
No matter. After all, she killed most of them once already in her previous life.
