The moment Leng Gong's poisonous wine entered her throat, Zhang Waner watched her sister Shang Guanxi drink the poisonous wine for her and died with hatred.
When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn back to when she was sixteen years old.
In her previous life, she was framed by her concubine and betrayed by her husband. The only one who truly treated her, Xi'er, died for her. In this life, she vowed to protect this friendship on her own behalf.
From the thrilling counter-attack at the Flower Appreciation Banquet to the blockbuster performance of the Royal Poetry Society; from offering a fire bull array to reverse the situation in the border war, to marrying into the Li family to collect irrefutable evidence of collusion with the enemy; from beating the imperial drum to report the imperial complaint, to forming a women's medical team in the northern battlefield - it took her twenty years to grow from a boudoir woman to the world-famous Lady Anguo.
In the end, she founded Mingxi Academy, allowing countless women to see the light.
This is a story about redemption and protection, as well as a deep sisterly love that spans two lives. When the lights of thousands of houses light up, she can finally say something to the people around her:
"In this life, I finally protect you."
