A bowl of poison killed her. Before she died, she heard her stepmother laughing and her concubine crying - it was not her who was crying, but "I can finally enter the palace".
When he opened his eyes again, Shen Zhao went back to the night before the draft when he was fifteen years old. Rebirth is a gift, but also a curse - memories come over her like broken porcelain. She remembers who killed her, but she can't remember why or who else was involved.
She didn't want to rush for revenge. She just wanted an answer.
On the day of the draft, she met the third prince Xiao Yao with sharp eyes. He looked at her with scrutiny, and the scroll he handed contained the secrets of the palace. The two explored each other's depths - until she discovered that the white jade hairpin left by her mother was engraved with dark patterns from an old court case three years ago.
The old case points to the palace. Pointing to the death of the late queen. Pointing to a "person who doesn't deserve to die".
The more Shen Zhao investigates, the deeper he gets: his stepmother is just the executor, his concubine hides secrets, and his most loyal servant delivers the knife in the dark. Every time fragments of memory surfaced, they overturned all her previous judgments.
What's even more troublesome is that Xiao Yao is also investigating the same thing - but the hidden clues around him disappear one by one. The most fatal incident was when the secret agent was silenced for delivering a message for her.
"I knew this was a possibility when I chose to help you," he told her.
The truth is close at hand, but the murderer is lurking in the place she trusts most. When the memory fragment flashed for the third time - there was a scar on the back of the hand holding the poisonous soup that she could see every day.
At that moment, she finally understood: living again was not for revenge, but to know "why" and then choose her own path.
The story of a reborn daughter-in-law investigating old cases in the court and piecing together the truth from memory fragments.
