Huo Shiyue, the Huo family heiress, was once the brightest jewel in Yuncheng. But at twenty-two, she fell into hell. She trusted her stepsister, Huo Yurou, and her fiancé, Gu Yanze, only for them to join forces and strip the family company of its assets. Her parents died in a so-called accident, while she was imprisoned and tortured, eventually meeting a bitter end in a meticulously planned car crash. As flames consumed the car, the last thing she saw was Huo Yurou nestled in Gu Yanze’s arms, smiling smugly. All that remained in her heart was boundless regret: she hated her own naivety and the sincere love she had given to the wrong people.
Consumed by searing hatred and overwhelming regret, Huo Shiyue was reborn at eighteen. Her parents were still alive, Huo Yurou had yet to fully bare her fangs, and Gu Yanze was still playing the devoted fiancé. This time, she shed her innocence and returned like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, her once-clear eyes now cold as ice. She would rip off the masks of the hypocrites and make Huo Yurou and Gu Yanze pay for their crimes. She would protect the Huo family’s honor and make up for every regret from her past life. And what about Qin Shen, who had silently protected her for ten years? Would she finally see the feelings hidden deep in his eyes this time around? With revenge fraught with danger at every turn and love and hate tangled together once more, Huo Shiyue swore to overturn her fate and take control of the game of life.
