Reborn in the Splendid Palace

Shen Qingyue died on the executioner's platform as snow blanketed the world. She had spent her family's entire fortune helping him ascend the throne, only for him to turn around, slaughter her whole family, and make her half-sister his empress. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the night when she was choosing a husband. Faced with the hypocritical affection of the scum prince, she sneered and turned away, hurling her embroidered ball at the notorious wastrel young prince who had watched the whole scene for his own amusement. "Xie Wujiu," she announced, stunning the crowd, "my Shen family is worth a fortune. I'll take you as my live-in husband. Do you dare accept?"

A contract gave birth to a husband and wife who were both born to put on a show. They were the picture of perfect affection in public, but privately they probed each other for secrets. She thought he was merely the sharpest blade in her quest for revenge, yet in every move she made, he had already prepared a way out for her. When the Third Prince's schemes came one after another, she discovered that behind this seemingly ridiculous live-in son-in-law stood the most terrifying shadowy power in the entire dynasty.

Watch as this reborn merchant's daughter joins forces with her husband, who plays the pig to eat the tiger. With wealth as her spear and schemes as her blade, she'll turn the deadly game of imperial power and privilege completely upside down! From using each other to entrusting each other with their lives, they ultimately find a home warmer than even the most splendid empire.
