In her previous life, she was schemed against by her own family, made a pawn in a marriage swap, and met a tragic end.
Reborn, she returned with a cold gaze, taking on the concubine, putting her half-sister in her place, and taking control of the household. She would never let anyone manipulate her again.
The marquis's estate was a snake pit? She would clear it, one step at a time.
Schemes and plots? She would return them all in kind.
She had only wanted to protect her family and live in peace, but she unexpectedly caught the eye of Xie Yan Heng, whose power held sway over the entire court.
He was deep and inscrutable, yet stood up for her every time.
She remained wary, yet gradually found herself moved by him.
In this life, she would no longer be a sheltered young woman at the mercy of others.
She would change her marriage and her fate, take control of the marquis's estate, and stand shoulder to shoulder with him to shape the tides of power.
Theme: A woman should stand on her own, take charge of her fate, and stay true to her original aspirations.
