In her previous life, she was the humblest legitimate daughter in the General's Mansion. She was used by her father, stepped on by her concubine, and eventually died tragically in the woodshed. When she opened her eyes again, Gu Jiuyao returned with hatred, vowing to make all those who wronged her pay with their blood. But she never expected that the biggest "variable" on the road to revenge would be the powerful and ruthless regent Mo Jue.
He forced her to raise a cub, but he gave her all the favor in the world. She stewed the dowager's beloved koi, and he said "the stew was good." She kicked the arrogant princess into the water, and he handed over the cloak and asked, "Does it hurt my hand?"
Everyone said that the regent was crazy and lost his mind over a notorious woman. Little did he know that he had been obsessed with her for two lifetimes just to protect her. When the conspiracy swept through, she wanted to leave with her son, but the always calm king finally forced her into a corner, his eyes full of destructive paranoia: "Jiu Yao, the country belongs to you, and you belong to me. In this life, you can never escape again."
