Lin Shuying was a master portrait artist and poisoner. In her previous life, she devoted her talents to helping the Third Prince, Xiao Chengze, seize the throne, only to be given a cup of poisoned wine and put to death on the day he became emperor. As she lay dying, she saw the Ninth Prince, Xiao Jin, the sworn enemy she had always opposed, bathe the imperial city in blood for her and weep over her body.
Reborn five years in the past, before it all began, Lin Shuying opens her eyes and walks straight toward the man who once overturned the empire for her. She will join forces with him, use her brush to sketch out their schemes and the poison hidden in her sleeve to clear their obstacles. Step by step, she will grind those who betrayed her into the dust, and create a magnificent empire with him.
