Princess Zhou Baozhu of the Yao Kingdom has been reborn. In her previous life, she did everything wrong to help Zhou Lin claim the throne: she colluded with court officials, kept a secret guard, and secretly made weapons. When it all came to light, her dear younger brother made sure to keep his own hands clean, personally having her locked away in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. From then on, she was condemned as a treasonous rebel, while Zhou Lin went from an unremarkable prince to the Crown Prince who had supposedly put righteousness before family, smoothly taking up residence in the Eastern Palace.
She used her power to help her husband, Cheng Mingli, turning the Cheng family from the owner of an overlooked little shop into the proprietors of Linlang Pavilion, famous throughout Jingzhou. But when she was imprisoned, the husband she had loved with all her heart willingly handed over the “evidence” that she had colluded with the enemy and betrayed her country, leaving her no hope of survival.
Her mother pleaded for her and was banished to the Cold Palace. Her maternal grandfather, the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, was sent into exile along with his entire family. Zhou Lin then forced a bowl of gut-wrenching poison down her throat, and she died miserably in prison.
Her fate in her previous life was tragic, and she even brought ruin upon her loving mother and her maternal grandfather’s family. Now she has been reborn, and she stays one step ahead of Zhou Lin at every turn, cutting off his closest allies and claiming all the support he once relied on. She once used her power to make the Cheng family the richest merchants in Jingzhou. Now she will use that same power to cast them into the dust, stripped of everything.
