Rebirth, transmigration, forced love, an utterly villainous big boss, mind-reading, bitter hatred, powerful ministers, scripts, the second male lead takes the heroine.
An aloof, genuinely powerful minister versus a scheming, black-hearted heroine.
Overworked office worker Man Jing dies suddenly and transmigrates into the wife of Lu Jinyuan, a treacherous minister with power over the court. She has the script in hand, but the story has already reached its ending. When Lu Jinyuan raises an army in rebellion, she knows from the script that he will fail. To save herself, she secretly offers the emperor the rebel army’s defenses and pledges her loyalty. After Tantai Feng successfully quells the rebellion, the entire Lu family is sentenced to death. Because Zhai Sangsu has seen the error of her ways, she is granted exile to Lingnan and forbidden from ever returning to the capital. Zhai Sangsu was originally the daughter of a farming family in Guangdong. Over five years, she uses the resources at her disposal to build a fortune through her own efforts, becoming a business magnate with wealth that rivals the empire. She lives a carefree life. But before long, she hears that Lu Jinyuan never died and has become emperor. One night, while being hunted, she is seized and dragged back to the imperial palace’s underground chambers. Clever and perceptive, he has already uncovered the secret. He forces her to write down the story, then sends her off with a cup of poison… By a twist of fate, they are both reborn on their wedding day.
