Shen Zhiyi died on the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony in her previous life. A cup of poisoned wine cut short her future and shattered her trust in the person she believed in most. She thought her stepmother and her two-faced cousin had conspired to push her into the abyss, but only at the moment of her death did she understand: she had been nothing more than a “sacrifice” in a far greater plot. What broke her heart even more was that Pei Yan, her aloof, taciturn “older brother,” whose power reached across the court, followed her in death after her funeral, seeking belated justice for her through a silent act of devotion. Reborn, she swears to take revenge, crush the villains, and reclaim both her name and her life. But then she stumbles upon the deep love he has concealed across two lifetimes: he is as hard as iron to the world, yet gives all his tenderness and fierce devotion to her alone. She is no longer naive, and he no longer holds back. This time, she will have him stand proudly by her side and spoil her to the heavens.
