In the thirteenth year of Tiansheng, on the eve of her wedding, Pei Zhaoning, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Dingbei Marquis’s household, witnesses her father and brothers being framed and a banner declaring their guilt hung outside the marquis’s residence.
In a single night, the greatest military family in the realm becomes a prison.
She had been nothing more than a pawn, manipulated into marrying into the imperial family in exchange for a chance for her family to catch its breath.
But as the executioner’s blade falls, Pei Zhaoning dies and is reborn, carrying sixteen years of pain and hatred from her previous life, seven days before disaster strikes.
This time, she will neither wait nor endure.
If they want to break her, she will break her bones and forge them into a blade.
What she never expected was that Xie Chen, the disgraced prince who rescued her amid the chaos of battle, would become the last face she saw before dying in her previous life.
