In her previous life, Shen Zhaoning watched the marquis's manor crumble, her second brother die a tragic death, and herself fall victim to a plot that left not even her bones behind.
Reborn, she has no interest in love. She fights only for a chance to survive; she seeks no dignity, only justice.
She tears down concubines, takes control of the household, commands the marquis's manor, reopens old cases, investigates a false death, and exposes the mastermind.
Everyone thinks she wants to become mistress of the marquis's manor.
But only she knows what she truly wants: to win justice for her second brother and bring back to the manor the name that was entered in the register of the dead.
In this life, she will make every enemy kneel and repay their debts.
Everyone sees her as just a sheltered young lady, unaware that she has already linked the schemes within the household to the shifting tides of court politics. Xie Linyuan, the regent who has always been cold and aloof, initially sees her as nothing more than a convenient pawn. But as they make plans together time and again, he willingly wields his blade for her and helps her break through every trap.
This time, she will win justice for the entire Shen family and take control of her own fate.
I have no idea what it's about. The synopsis doesn't match the novel at all. It seems like it was meant to be a suspense novel, but it's completely illogical. The whole thing revolves around investigating the second brother's death, but I still didn't understand what the whole plot was about.
