In her previous life, Sang Li killed Lu Huaining with her own hands to stay alive. Xiang Cheng never got to live, either.
Lu Huaining was the true crown prince, switched at birth. But before he could reunite with his family, the false crown prince had him killed by the hand of the woman he loved.
In this life, she chooses to make the first move, infiltrating the Shen family mansion, but she can't shake the false crown prince's position.
Fine. If she can't beat them, she can at least stay out of their way.
Sang Li decides to take Lu Huaining and steer clear of the Shen family, keeping their heads down and scraping by.
Yet fate draws Lu Huaining back into the wealthy household all the same.
Sang Li knows she's not the one destined for him, so she gives her place to the eldest daughter of the Song family and plans to take some money before making a clean getaway.
Just as she's about to run, Lu Huaining blocks the road with dozens of luxury cars. “When you had no money, you clung to me. Now that you're successful, why are you running away?”
