Fu Qingning was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s household, but on the day she was born, her grandmother branded her a bringer of bad luck and sent her to a nunnery.
When Fu Qingning grew up, she received a letter from her parents asking her to return to the capital and reunite with her family. But for the sake of the Third Prince, Murong Yan, whom she loved, she gave up her status as the Prime Minister’s eldest daughter. She had her most trusted maid, Yuhui, take her place and go to the capital to reunite with the family and fulfill her filial duty.
Fu Qingning joined the Third Prince Murong Yan’s secret guard corps and helped him ascend the throne. But once he became emperor, Murong Yan took her life.
Reborn, Fu Qingning could never forget Murong Yan’s words: “I don’t love you. I love a dignified, well-mannered lady from a good family, someone like Fu Yuhui, the Prime Minister’s eldest daughter. Fu Yuhui alone will be my empress.
“Fu Yuhui is the exalted daughter of the Prime Minister’s household. You’re nothing but a lowly secret guard. What makes you think you’re anyone?”
If her love was worth nothing, then she would reclaim her place as the Prime Minister’s eldest daughter and cut off the Third Prince Murong Yan’s path to power.
She would marry the ailing Crown Prince. She would claim the position of Crown Princess. She would seize power and climb to the top.
P.S. The heroine is a black-hearted beauty, and the hero is her dark obsession.
