In her previous life, Shen Zhaoning, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s household, watched her father and brothers be falsely accused of treason and executed. She was betrothed to Prince Jing, Xiao Heng, then cast aside and left to starve to death in the Cold Palace.
Reborn, she returns to three months before her father and brothers leave for war.
She swears to rewrite her fate, protect her family, and avenge their deaths.
But then, Xiao Heng is reborn too.
He returned seven days before her and has already laid his plans.
He thinks he knows how the story goes, and that Shen Zhaoning is still the same softhearted woman.
But in this life, she won’t be softhearted, won’t endure in silence, and won’t let romance cloud her judgment.
He makes one move, and she dismantles three schemes.
She thought she would have to walk the road to revenge alone, until she discovered that the man who had quietly brought her osmanthus cakes outside the Cold Palace for three years in her previous life was still alive.
In this life, she won’t let anyone die in the shadows in her place.
This story is entirely fictional. All the conflicts and relationships are imagined, and any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.
A lot of content from my previous life came out over and over again, and I felt like I had written it from scratch.
