[Rebirth + revenge + sweet romance + the crown prince's secret love + romantic rivalry + push and pull + satisfying comeuppance]
In her previous life, her older sister set her up, and she died from a poisoned arrow in a mass grave.
Reborn, the first thing she does is slap her sister.
Su Xiwan, the legitimate daughter of the Su family and the capital's great beauty, has only one thought in this new life: settle every debt owed to her, one by one.
Her hypocritical older sister, her cold childhood sweetheart, her biased father. She'll deal with them one at a time. She turns her personal maid to her side, arranges to switch the bridal sedan and send her sister to the wedding, and makes her father unearth old grievances with his own eyes.
Her childhood sweetheart kneels outside the gate, begging her to take him back. She can't even be bothered to glance at him. He is no longer worthy of her.
Ziheng, the young master of the General's residence, falls in love with her at first sight, his gaze always following her. She only considers him a close friend and never thinks any further.
She assumed that Crown Prince Murong Chen and Sister Xiao Tang were a couple. Xiao Tang is the daughter of the Defender-General, frail and often ill, yet the crown prince's betrothed and one of her few friends. She had even secretly thought that becoming the crown prince's sworn sister might give her a way out.
She never expected that the high and mighty crown prince would appear before her again and again
He sends her medicine with a plain note containing just two words: Stay well.
When something happens to her, he sends word: If you have trouble, come to me.
Until one day, he stands before her and gazes down at her for a long time:
"I don't want to be your sworn brother."
She freezes.
So the person he has always loved... was her.
