Jiang Mingzhao died.
The mourning hall was set up, the coffin was closed, and her relatives had already started coveting the estate left by her late mother.
Then she sat up in her coffin.
Even more absurdly, after coming back from the dead, she discovered she could see the secrets people least wanted exposed, along with a countdown to when each secret would come to light.
[Secret: Her paternal uncle has already pocketed two thousand taels and plans to sell her shop.]
[Exposure: In half an hour.]
[Secret: The marquis, praised throughout the capital for his loving marriage, has a son with another woman.]
[Exposure: In the time it takes for one incense stick to burn.]
[Secret: A certain noble has taken money from three families and promised the same position to all three.]
[Exposure: In two hours.]
Jiang Mingzhao soon discovers that even though she knows when a secret will come out, she has no idea how it will be exposed.
No matter.
She only needs to summon everyone who should be there before the bomb goes off.
Later, a new rule for staying alive spreads throughout the capital:
Seeing Jiang Mingzhao look up isn't frightening.
But if she looks at you and suddenly smiles
Run.
