Jiang Yunning, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an's household, was married off to a gambler by her stepmother in her previous life, had her betrothal stolen by her half-sister, and was disowned by her own father. She froze to death on the road to exile.
Reborn at fifteen, by day she is the meek, submissive legitimate daughter everyone can manipulate. Her stepmother cuts her allowance, and she smiles and accepts it; her half-sister sets a trap for her, and she pretends not to notice.
By night, she is Night Kite, leader of Listen to the Wind Pavilion, the most mysterious intelligence network in the capital. With agents planted throughout the Six Ministries and the Nine Ministers, she arranges every so-called “coincidence” herself.
She uses the mourning period to fend off marriage, takes back her dowry, turns her half-sister's schemes against her, and frames her stepmother. She plans every move so her enemies think they're simply unlucky, never suspecting that someone is pulling the strings.
Until Yan Ci, a junior official at the Court of Judicial Review, begins investigating Night Kite.
He is the man who broke off their engagement in her previous life, the only person who can open the sealed files on the military provisions case, and the only one who has ever made it to her door.
By day, she lowers her eyes and acts obedient around him. By night, he chases her across the rooftops and through the city.
The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous her path becomes...
When her identity is finally revealed, everyone who ever mistreated her will realize that she had them in her sights all along.
