On the day the Shen family was sentenced to execution, Shen Mingshu finally learned that her beloved stepmother and half-sister had long ago traded the lives of the Shen family for wealth and status.
When she opens her eyes again, she’s back on the night her half-sister framed her and tried to ruin her reputation. In her previous life, no one believed her. This time, she locks the door and summons every guest in the manor, leaving her half-sister and her lover disgraced!
She reclaims her dowry, foils their plots, and protects her loved ones. With every step carefully planned, she vows to make her enemies pay in blood. But when the conspiracy leads to a major case at court, she has no choice but to join forces with the cold-faced powerbroker Pei Yanci.
By day, she uses his influence to crush her enemies and clear her name. At night, he corners her by the bed and calmly calls in his debt: “Miss Shen, you used me and now you think you can leave?”
Later, her half-sister kneels and begs for mercy, and her stepmother dies raving mad. Then Shen Mingshu discovers that the portrait Pei Yanci keeps hidden in his study was painted before they ever met…
Aunt Zhao sent Zhuangzi to the mansion while she was still there, and the lady was in the room when she was talking. But let his daughter tell him again? Full of loopholes!
