In her previous life, Shen Qingyue gave everything to help the Fifth Prince, Xiao Jingheng, ascend the throne. In return, her family cast her aside, and she was forced to drink poison that burned through her insides. Reborn after a brutal death, she hid her rebellious nature beneath the harmless facade of a delicate flower. Her stepmother, Madam Wang, was sweet-tongued but venomous? Shen Qingyue would tear away her hypocritical mask! Her elder sister, Shen Qinglian, was determined to marry into power? Shen Qingyue would personally break her ladder to the heavens! Her father, the prime minister, treated his children like disposable pawns? Then she would overturn the whole chessboard of the prime minister’s residence. In this life, she used Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan to stir up the battle for the throne. But she never expected Shen Huaizhou, the quiet, low-profile adopted son of the Third Branch, to drape the bloodstained black armor of the northern frontier over her shoulders and say, "If Ah Yue wants someone dead, I’ll put the knife in your hand."
