Reborn in the imperial prison, Lin Wanru grips her mother's silver hairpin, her eyes filled with nothing but blood-deep hatred and resolve.
In her previous life, her family was slaughtered and her master died a tragic death. She and Liang Yanxiao were hunted down and executed while fleeing. It was all part of the poisonous scheme devised by Prince Liang Zhao Gao and Empress Dowager Chu!
This time, she keeps her rebirth a secret. With the medical arts of Medicine King Valley and a mastery of military strategy, she first changes their doomed escape route, exposes the traitor in their midst, then calls on the grassland cavalry to help the battle-hardened prince break free of his predicament.
She anticipates every move, from ambushes at the western gate to plague among the grassland tribes and traps involving military supplies. Her plans are ruthless as they wage war against Yan, Zhao, and Chu, and she plots a thousand miles ahead to defeat the Xiongnu and pacify the Western Regions.
From the Right Chancellor's daughter to Empress Yonghe, she commands the inner palace, leads the Imperial Medical Academy, and controls a brilliant intelligence network. She protects her family, takes revenge, and searches for her mother, all while standing by him from imprisonment to the unification of the realm.
At last, Liang Yanxiao understands: his Wanru was never a fragile childhood sweetheart. She is his strategist, his empire, and the only person he will ever trust.
Blood debts must be repaid in blood. In this age of Yonghe's prosperity, she will make every enemy pay the price, this time around!
