Jiang Yusheng, the illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family, has been reborn.
In her previous life, her legitimate younger sister stole her betrothal to the Marquis's household. Her stepmother and fiancé, Xiao Sheng, schemed to ruin her virtue. She could only watch as her birth mother's dowry became her sister's lavish wedding procession, while she was forced into the marquis's household in a small sedan chair as a concubine.
Later, the realm fell into chaos. Her younger sister and Xiao Sheng seized their chance, eventually ruling the world together and growing old in love.
She endured humiliation after humiliation, until all that remained for her was a tragic end: a cup of poisoned wine.
Unwilling to live through it all again, she chose to exchange lives with Shen Yue, a modern woman.
Shen Yue awoke in a daze and discovered that this was the very day the Marquis of Wuxiang's household was to deliver the betrothal gifts, and also the day Xiao Sheng had ruined her virtue in her previous life.
She was trapped in the rear courtyard, time was running short, and the only maid by her side had already betrayed her.
So she took a chance and sent a passionate love letter to the most distinguished guest present.
She wanted nothing but to stain her own reputation and break out of her predicament, winning herself a chance to survive.
Unexpectedly, the tyrant who had murdered his brother and father in her previous life appeared before her in person.
He rescued her, then made a shocking demand: “Marry me and help me establish my own household and become a prince.”
She had only wanted to use his influence to stay alive, but he wanted to drag her into the maelstrom of court intrigue and imperial power struggles?
