On the snowy night when Gu Zhaoxue died outside the Xie family ancestral hall, she realized that her whole life was just a chess piece used by the Gu family to change their future and a piece used by the Xie family to test the direction of the wind.
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the night before her wedding.
This time, she will still marry into the Xie Mansion, and she will still step into the wealthy family that eats people without spitting out their bones, but she will no longer be a weakling who can be manipulated by others.
From being passive about the dowry and being tested by her servants, to being suppressed by her elder brother and uncovering old debts, she worked step by step, first establishing herself in the back house, and then collecting debts from her old husband.
Everyone thought she was the concubine of the Gu family who was pushed out to block the knife, and she couldn't make any trouble.
It was not until later that everyone in the Xie family discovered that the quietest bride was the most deeply hidden knife.
And the second son of the Xie family, who was wary of her at first and looked on with cold eyes, gradually lost his sense of control through repeated trials and encounters.
