Ye Churui was reborn at the moment before her mother coaxed her into entering the prince's manor. In her previous life, she had been imprisoned in a dungeon by the elderly prince, tortured until she died, while her own mother drove poisoned needles into her back.
In this new life, she tore away the mask of false familial affection, carried her brother, who had been gravely injured while saving the princess, straight to the princess's residence to "sell her brother for glory," and arranged for him to marry into the princess's family as her consort in exchange for a chance for the whole family to survive!
The princess loved Ye Churui and her younger siblings as dearly as she loved her own, while her mother, acting on the old prince's orders, used both threats and enticements to try to drag her back and offer her up as a sacrifice.
As Ye Churui countered every trick and face-slapped her wicked mother, she sent her younger siblings to school, taught herself medicine, and secretly joined forces with the princess's biological brother, the Seventh Prince, to gather evidence and bring down her enemies.
At first, the Seventh Prince Xie Zhao suspected she had ulterior motives. But her resilience and intelligence won him over, and he spoiled her without restraint, transforming her from a commoner into a female official at court.
On the day her enemies were brought to justice, the Seventh Prince arrived with a lavish bridal procession stretching ten li to ask for her hand.
This time, she was no longer a weak woman at the mercy of others. She was the one and only person he would cherish for the rest of his life.
