Xing Xiaoxiao, an illegitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, lived a life of utter misery in her previous life.
Her elder half-sister had been in the palace for years without bearing a child. Pretending to care for her, she tricked Xiaoxiao into entering the palace to win the emperor's favor in her place. Foolishly, Xiaoxiao fell for it. She endured ten months of pregnancy and all its suffering, only to be cruelly set up by her half-sister as she went into labor in a vicious scheme to keep the child and abandon its mother.
As she lay dying from hemorrhaging, she watched helplessly as her half-sister cradled her child and basked in wealth and glory. No matter how desperately she begged, her half-sister would not let the palace attendants summon a doctor. In the end, Xiaoxiao died with hatred in her heart, her grievances unresolved.
Reborn, Xing Xiaoxiao returns to the year before her half-sister plotted to send her into the palace.
This time, she will no longer cling to family ties or covet wealth and glory. All she wants is a quiet life, to escape her half-sister's clutches and stay alive.
She hears that the chief palace eunuch wields immense power, able to dominate both the inner palace and the imperial court, making him the ideal protector. At the autumn banquet, Xing Xiaoxiao racks her brains, determined to get on the chief eunuch's good side. All she wants is a safe haven where she can keep her head down and survive.
But fate has other plans. Through a series of mishaps, she ends up provoking Chi Yuan, the living King of Hell whom everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard fears.
Decisive and ruthless, cold and merciless, he is someone no one in the palace dares to provoke. His icy gaze sees through people's hearts, and his brutal methods make them tremble.
She meant to cling to a eunuch for protection, but accidentally provoked the iron-fisted leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Xing Xiaoxiao trembles. “My lord, I mistook you for someone else!”
Chi Yuan traps her in his arms, his eyes glinting with menace and possessiveness. “You dared to provoke this commander. Did you think you could get away unscathed?”
See how this reborn illegitimate daughter navigates the treacherous inner palace, and, through one mishap after another, becomes entangled in a breathtaking romance with the cold-faced leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
