Given a second life, Duan Ran wants only three things: revenge, revenge, and more revenge.
In her previous life, she was nothing but a lowly concubine. She pined for Li Zhixing, heir to the Marquis of Wu'an, for eight years, only to be given a bowl of poison after childbirth and torn away from her child.
Only as she lay dying did she learn that all his coldness and rigid rules had been meant to make room for his new wife.
In this life, she still enters his household, serving as a maid.
But she is no longer the fool who lets others walk all over her and begs for their pity.
The marquis's household is full of treacherous schemes?
Perfect. She'll turn their own strength against them and send her enemies to hell one by one.
The heir is as cold as iron?
Then she'll plot her way forward at his side and turn the rules he treasures upside down.
At last, he can take no more and corners her against a wall. “What is it you really want?”
Duan Ran smiles sweetly, her eyes brimming with ice. “This concubine asks for very little. I only wish for you, my lord, to live a long life.”
I want you alive, so you can watch everything you treasure turn to ashes, bit by bit!
