In her previous life, Shen Qingqing devoted everything she had to the Marquis of Wu'an, but was killed by her husband Song Lingxiao and her children. Only on her deathbed did she realize that her luck had been taken away and her flesh and blood had been replaced. After she was reborn, she gained the power of qi-gazing, able to read people's voices and see the flow of luck. She pretended to be giving in, but in fact she was making progress every step of the way - taking back the power of the family, finding her biological daughter Zhao Heng, exposing the son-exchange conspiracy, and even teaming up with Prince Xiao Yan of Huai to break the second prince's usurpation. When the entire Song family was slaughtered and their luck was reduced to zero, she finally stood in the court as a national teacher, standing side by side with the emperor, and letting those who were responsible for her pay with their blood.
