In the twenty-seventh year of Yong'an, a palace coup erupted.
The young empress Hua Siluan ruled the realm for ten years, only to die in the blaze at Zichen Palace.
When she was fifteen and still Crown Princess, she fell for her childhood companion Ran Qingning at first sight, made him her sole principal husband, showered him with favor, and entrusted him with power. She also trusted her third elder sister, Hua Siyu, who commanded the army, and regarded her as her closest support.
Ten years of heartfelt devotion turned out to be nothing but a deception.
On the day of the coup, Ran Qingning personally handed over the capital's defense plans, his heart set entirely on Hua Siyu and her bid to usurp the throne.
"Ayu, I endured this for ten years just to help you claim the realm."
The one beside her plotted against her, while her own sister harbored treasonous ambitions.
She was merely a stepping stone on their path to the throne. Her love was misplaced, her family destroyed, and she died full of hatred.
As flames consumed her and she fell in the depths of despair, she swore through gritted teeth:
If I get another life, I'll kill the scoundrel, cut down the false kin, and crush everyone who bullied, deceived, and betrayed me!
Reborn in an instant!
She returns to the age of fifteen!
To the night before the Crown Princess's ceremony to choose her principal husband!
Nothing has gone wrong yet! Nothing has fallen apart! This time, she casts off her naive softness, calmly plotting and taking each step with care!
She won't fall for her false childhood sweetheart, blindly trust hollow family ties, or remain a lovesick heir who can be deceived!
She'll hold tightly to power, secure the court, and unravel every scheme the two of them have devised!
Those who plot against her will suffer the consequences of their own schemes;
Those who betray her will bow in submission!
The vast realm will be hers to rule,
And the world's most breathtaking beauties will stand by her side.
In this life,
All the glory and happiness will belong to her alone, Hua Siluan!
