The pain of burning the body with fierce fire and corroding the bones with poison was the final chapter of Shangguan Lingyu's previous life. As the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she betrothed to the wrong prince Xiao Jingyan and insisted on marrying into the East Palace. However, in exchange, the Hou Mansion was falsely accused of treason and her entire family was executed. She was also banished to the cold palace and was served poisoned wine by her concubine Shangguan Wanrou. In the overwhelming hatred, she was reborn and returned to the day of her engagement to the prince.
Holding the biggest golden finger of past life memory, Shangguan Lingyu resolutely tore up the marriage contract and regretted the engagement in public. Amid everyone's shocked and mocking gazes, she turned around and chose Chu Yixiao, the seventh prince who was disabled due to war injuries, marginalized by the royal family and shunned by everyone. The world laughs at her for being so stupid that she chooses a stone instead of a pearl. Little did they know that this cold-faced prince was the only person in the previous life who secretly investigated the truth after her family was destroyed and finally collected her body.
In this life, Shangguan Lingyu's goal is clear and cold: to protect the family, avenge all enemies, and help Chu Yixiao ascend to the highest position.
In the end, in a well-planned palace coup, Shangguan Lingyu and Chu Yixiao worked together to expose the prince's conspiracy to collude with foreign enemies, kill the king and usurp the throne. Chu Yixiao calmed down the chaos with thunderous power and ascended the throne as emperor with the support of the courtiers. And Shangguan Lingyu, the legitimate daughter of the Hou family who was once regarded as an abandoned son, stands side by side with him at the highest point. Not only did she achieve revenge and save her family, she also broke the shackles of women not being allowed to participate in politics, and created her own Fengyi era with the dignity of a queen.
