In her previous life, Shen Qinghuan was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Cherished and pampered, she happily awaited her marriage to the Crown Prince, only to meet a fate from which there was no escape.
Her half-sister, Shen Qingrou, whom she had trusted with all her heart, stole her mother's heirloom medical recipes and built a reputation for virtue atop her corpse. Her fiance, Crown Prince Zhao Jingran, whom she had loved wholeheartedly, used the Shen family's military power and influence to seize the throne. Once he succeeded, he turned around and framed the family for treason. The entire household was executed, and rivers of blood flowed.
Imprisoned in the Cold Palace, she watched her mother being forced to drink poison and her elder brother beheaded in the marketplace. At last, Shen Qingrou and Zhao Jingran forced poison down her throat with their own hands. Before she died, she saw Prince Jing, Xiao Jue, a man who had always been cold and sinister and with whom she had never crossed paths, charge into the Cold Palace to save her. He was pierced by a hundred arrows and died before her eyes, his blood staining her prison clothes.
When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn three days before her fifteenth birthday ceremony.
The tragedies had yet to happen. Her family was still alive, and her enemies still wore their masks of hypocrisy.
With all the memories of her past life and the peerless medical skills passed down by her mother, Shen Qinghuan concealed the hatred in her eyes and vowed that this time she would protect her mother and brother, safeguard the entire Shen family, and make everyone who had harmed her pay in blood!
Her half-sister wants to steal the secret recipes and win herself a good reputation? Shen Qinghuan exposes the hypocrite in public, ruining her reputation and earning her everyone's scorn!
The scum of a Crown Prince wants to use the Shen family to further his ambitions? She tears up the engagement on the spot, cuts off his path to power, and sends him tumbling from the clouds into the mud!
A biased father and a wicked concubine? She settles accounts with them one by one, making them suffer a hundred times over for every torment she endured in her previous life!
Everyone thinks that after breaking off her engagement to the Crown Prince and losing her backing, she has no chance of turning things around in this life.
