In her previous life, Dou Jing was framed and sent to Jiangnan, where she suffered for five years.
By the time she dragged her ailing body back, there was no place for her in the family anymore.
Her cousin had become her parents' beloved daughter, taking care of them in her place and marrying her fiance for her.
Her parents despised her, her elder brother treated her coldly, and the whole household spread rumors that she was mad. Her mother even casually married her off to a man from a fallen family.
After a great fire, Dou Jing returned to the age of fifteen.
This time, she would have nothing to do with the heartless Heir Shen.
Jiang Che, the legitimate grandson of Grand Secretary Jiang, was a gentle and noble young man.
When Imperial Consort Jiang had once struck her head against a pillar and died, the Regent had been consumed by grief. From that day on, he used his overwhelming power to protect the entire Jiang family.
If Dou Jing married Jiang Che, she would have a gentleman for a husband and the Regent's protection, ensuring her a peaceful and secure life.
But when she set her plan in motion, the prince intervened to break them up.
