The fire at the age of nine burned Yu Yueyuan's name to ashes.
Twenty-seven households in the entire mountain col were engulfed in flames before even a single cry could be heard.
When she crawled out from hiding in a water tank, choking on cigarettes, her hands were covered with scorched earth and she found only a piece of warm jade pendant - it was an accidental item left behind by the arsonist. The bones and blood of her whole village were embedded in the jade pattern.
She clutched the jade and planned for the second son of the Meng family to pick her up. Even if he sent her to be a secret guard with the intention of making her disappear without a trace, she still survived.
After being transferred from the secret guard camp, she started working as a sweeper on the periphery and gradually became a personal maid. In the past ten years, she did not compete for favor or cling to others, and she polished all her sharp edges into the darkness.
Everyone in the house regarded her as a boring gourd who only kept her head down and did things, so they always relaxed a little in front of her. She also took the opportunity to obtain a lot of information and caused a lot of trouble for the Meng family.
Such a painless but cautious enough revenge lasted for ten years, maybe even longer if there was no turning point.
Until the disaster relief food was robbed, a rich young man named Dongyu who loved to listen to Ruan music was tricked into Meng's house. He spent money like water and was careless about trivial matters, as if he was being used without realizing it.
But Yu Yueyuan got a glimpse of how things are not simple from the Nanyuan civil strife and Dong Yu's profit.
Seizing the opportunity, she must let the fire burn brightly in the Meng family, even if she has to sacrifice everything.
A kite rides on the wind, and a fish leaps into a dragon.
Unexpectedly, in the end, she benefited from the situation and sat on the throne of the supreme emperor who unified the world.
