In her previous life, she was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household: gentle and foolish, she was manipulated by her half-sister and betrayed by a scoundrel. Her entire family was falsely accused of treason and executed, while she died miserably in a mass grave, carrying her hatred to the grave.
Reborn, she returns to the day she turned fifteen, when her half-sister pushed her into the water and nearly killed her!
She casts off her weakness and rises from the ashes. The legitimate daughter lets her brilliance shine, decisive and merciless!
She tears into her scheming half-sister, exposes her plots in public, and kicks her treacherous fiancé to the curb. She battles villains, protects her family, and roots out threats within, planning every move carefully. She takes revenge and shows her enemies no mercy!
Her ruthless, spirited nature catches the eye of Xie Jingyuan, a calculating minister whose power dominates the imperial court.
Everyone says he is cold and heartless, impossible to read, and never stops for anyone.
Yet he is drawn to her intelligence and ruthlessness. What begins as admiration and curiosity soon pulls him in, until he falls for her completely.
From then on, the aloof minister becomes fiercely protective:
Who dares bully her? He’ll crush them!
Who dares harm her? He’ll root them out completely!
Whether in court or in the household, he stands by her every step of the way, using all his power to ensure she lives in peace.
The heroine: “You and I are only partners.”
The hero gives a soft laugh and leans close, his eyes full of possessive devotion. “Partners? I want to spend the rest of my life protecting you.”
A reborn heroine’s spectacular comeback, a powerful minister falling for her at every turn, fiercely protective devotion, two formidable partners joining forces, and enemies brought to their knees: at last, she wins his undivided love in a golden age!
