    Her elder sister, under the moral blackmail of the Jiang family, was forced to marry into the Marquis's mansion, and later died tragically, abandoned by the Jiang family before her death. Filled with resentment, she summoned Jiang Ruxue, who had only lived a few years in the apocalypse, back to this world, allowing her to be reborn in her sister's body. The Jiang family wanted her to marry into the Marquis's mansion as a concubine, bringing her son with her, while her adopted daughter became the mistress of a powerful family? Ha! Fine! She disfigured her adopted daughter and made her a concubine alongside her! After entering the Marquis's mansion, carrying her sister's grievances, resentment, and hatred, she overturned the entire mansion. She plotted, sought revenge, and rose step by step to power. But after becoming the sole leader of the Marquis's mansion, the Jiang family turned around and befriended her, wanting her to bring her child back to her parents' home often. Befriend them? Return to her parents' home? Ha! You don't deserve that! ... After her rebirth, Jiang Ruxue, seeking revenge, alone, boarded the ship of her brother-in-law. In broad daylight, her brother-in-law used her as a weapon, and she cooperated. In the darkness, she was made to serve as a maidservant at her bedside, and she did so willingly. But when she had grown strong enough to avenge her family, she dropped her pretense, threw down the divorce papers, and turned to leave with Xiao Bao and A Jiu. Her brother-in-law, filled with remorse, chased after her, pleading, "Sister-in-law, with a thousand miles of red flowers and the empire as your dowry, will you marry me again?" Jiang Ruxue: "No!" ... Jiang Ruxue only knew that her sister had a childhood sweetheart she couldn't have, but she didn't know that this man, for her sister's sake, had turned his hair white overnight, risked his life, and even had his bones removed and blood drained before his death so that she could be reborn. She didn't want him to have given his heart to the wrong person, so she told him the truth: "I am not my sister." But he said, "I know, your sister was willing to protect you with her life, and so am I!" Jiang Ruxue said again, "But I don't love you." He said, "I know that too, but your sister loves you."
