Synopsis: Who could have imagined that the once-glorious Princess Consort of Prince Jing’s Heir would end up dying in disgrace, buried without a tombstone or even a grave? Mu Nianci remembered to her dying day the disgust in Xiao Heng’s eyes, Mu Yunxi’s smug taunts, and Princess Jing’s words: “You should have died out there. At least then you wouldn’t have sullied the reputation of the prince’s estate.” She gave three years of sincere love in exchange for a carefully planned murder. They schemed to take everything she had because they all believed she was unworthy of it. Reborn in an instant, she returns to the time before her coming-of-age banquet, before she and Xiao Heng were engaged and before any of the tragedies occurred. In this life, she is the legitimate daughter of a duke’s family and the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager, with the Qin and Rong families backing her. A literary contest to choose her husband makes her famous far and wide. She is no longer the meek, long-suffering eldest daughter of the Mu family, but an avenger who has returned with a grudge. She makes her moves one step at a time: first, she ends her engagement to Xiao Heng and cuts off that doomed relationship; then she takes everything from Mu Yunxi and ruins her reputation. She ensures the scoundrel is no longer eligible to compete for the position of crown prince. Xiao Xuan, heir to Prince Yu, was the man who defied convention for her in her past life, led soldiers to rescue her from a bandit stronghold, and guarded her grave after she died. This time, she refuses to let him suffer regrets for her sake. Together, they unravel the schemes for power and work for the people’s welfare, ensuring that everyone who wronged her pays for it in blood, until at last they find their happy ending.
