She was once the queen of the world, but she died in hatred due to the betrayal of someone she trusted. When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the year before everything collapsed. The phoenix crown is not yet stable, the powerful officials have not fallen, the old warmth is still there, but the poisonous situation has been quietly buried.
In this life, she is no longer a chess piece being pushed around. She worked step by step, using etiquette to hide her edge, using gentleness to set up a trap, and forced out every hypocritical face under the most gorgeous lights and shadows in the palace. But when the truth came to light little by little, she discovered that what was behind the disaster of exterminating the family and deposing the queen in her previous life was not a personal hatred of one person, but a situation that could overturn the country.
She wants revenge, but she also wants to save herself; she wants to protect the person she wants to protect, but she also has to make the most ruthless choice between love and suspicion. Only this time, who is really beside her, and who will hand the knife to her heart at the last moment?
Above the phoenix position, deep love is bait and intrigue is poison. She lives a new life and either changes her life or dies together.
