The Legitimate Daughter Takes Charge

In her previous life, she was the legitimate daughter, yet she trusted the wrong people and let a wolf into her home.

Her gentle, virtuous stepmother swindled her out of her birth mother’s dowry and raised her into a laughingstock in the capital. Her fiancé, who claimed to love her deeply, waited until the day he achieved success to destroy her entire family and leave her to die in a sea of flames. Only as she lay dying did she see the truth: that treacherous couple had been carrying on behind her back, waiting for her to walk into their trap.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to age fourteen, before the tragedy began.

This time, she returns with a grudge, swearing to make them pay in blood! Her hypocritical stepmother tries to smother her with praise? She plays along, then turns the tables and ruins her reputation! Her scheming half-sister wants to steal her match? She hands him over herself, with a special “may you never have children” gift thrown in! Her scumbag ex-fiancé wants to trick her into marriage again? She coolly lays a trap, determined to drag him from the heights into the mud and make him kneel outside the Prime Minister’s residence, begging for mercy!

The inner court is full of treacherous schemes, while the imperial court is swept by political storms. She makes her plans and advances one step at a time, thinking she lives only for revenge and that her heart has turned to stone. But then she meets him, a man who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes just as she is: the heir to Prince Jing, rumored to be frail and sickly.

He reaches out to her from the abyss. “Shall we make a deal? I’ll help you crush your enemies, and you’ll help me… overthrow this realm.”

This is a high-stakes gamble with the realm as its game board, and a tale of two cold hearts saving each other. When her road to revenge finally reaches its end, she discovers that their happy life together is only just beginning…
