The first thing the maid does after being reborn is urge her young mistress to dump Xie Yan, the scoundrel who betrayed her in her previous life. Xuelin then casually brings a beggar home to keep.
The beggar, Xiao Jin, is sweet and obedient. He knows how to act cute and stand up for her, making Xuelin beam with delight.
That is, until Xie Yan shamelessly shows up to extort her, only to be beaten into tears with ease by Xiao Jin.
Only then does Xuelin realize that the one she picked up isn't some adorable puppy. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing!
And what leaves her even more stunned is that this wolf is Murong Jin, the regent feared by the emperor!
He is forced to go to war, while she enters the palace as empress to protect her family.
When they meet again, the man stands in full battle armor, his eyes bloodshot as he pins her against the dragon throne. “Xuelin, how dare you!”
Xuelin meets his words with a faint smile, only to watch him turn around and overthrow the court, then imprison her in his manor and spoil her without restraint.
“Big sister, I'll win the empire for you. You keep my bed warm, all right?”
