In her previous life, she became a pawn of her family, manipulated at every turn and denied any choice of her own.
Driven to the brink, Su Jinxiu died with a heart full of hatred. Only then did she see through the cold, imposing households: beneath their embroidered walls, there was never a trace of true affection.
Reborn in a single moment, her heart was chilled to the bone.
In this life, she wants only to stay away from conflict.
But her scumbag father corners her at every turn, while her puppet of a mother even plots to take her life.
Every step ahead is fraught with danger. With nowhere left to retreat, she can only strike back with a plan, break through the trap, and fight to survive.
The world says she is calculating and schemes at every turn. Only the aloof, taciturn crown prince willingly falls into her game.
He casts off his cold reserve and rushes to her side time and again, giving her his whole heart.
“Su Jinxiu, I willingly become a pawn in your hand, and I will never betray you.”
“If you want a vast empire, I will offer it to you. If you want to overturn the old rules and reshape the world, I will join you in stirring up the storm and challenging heaven and earth.”
The man leans down, his plea almost humble. “A pawn like me is one of a kind. You... must never cast me aside.”
