[Warning: A groveling ex tries to win her back, but the broken mirror is never made whole again.]
In his previous life, the Seventh Prince lost the struggle for the throne and was ordered to commit suicide along with his entire household.
Reborn just as Prince Yizhong was executed and the Retired Emperor and the Emperor were discussing whom to adopt, the ten-year-old Seventh Prince sprang forward. “I'll go! I'll go! I'll go!!!”
Once staying alive was no longer a problem, the Seventh Prince began thinking about his lifelong happiness.
After being picky and choosy, he finally held his nose and made up his mind: he'd rather have the original wife.
Then he discovered an even bigger, more life-threatening problem.
Wait, where's my wife? The one I had before?
What do you mean my father-in-law only had one son?!

In her previous life, the Seventh Prince's consort was virtuous and gentle, yet she was neglected as she gave birth and dragged down with him in death.
On the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, presented with several options for rebirth, she picked the place farthest from the capital.
Forget it. Whoever wants to be this unlucky Seventh Prince's consort can have the job. She's done serving him!
Reborn with her skills in household intrigue maxed out, Lin Piaoyu navigates every obstacle as if it weren't there.
The incense sent by the Jia family is tainted. Little Lin Piaoyu wails, “Gua! Gua!”
Jia Min: “Why does the baby cry whenever she smells this incense? Could it be...?”
The Bald Monk comes to take Daiyu away to become a nun. Lin Piaoyu: “You can't even cure your own bald head. How dare you claim you can keep my sister safe when you're so impure?”
The Bald Monk: “Did that brat smear poison on her tongue? Why is she so venomous?”
The Rongguo Mansion tries to bring her to the capital. Lin Piaoyu: “Go back and tell the mansion to prepare itself. Our family knows how to put on a grand show.”
Madam Wang: “I thought we were taking in a princess consort. Why is she so difficult to deal with?”
Lin Piaoyu: “And whose fault is that? Who knows what in your family is poisonous?”
