Blurb: Ning Zhi died in a family power struggle, unable to rest in peace. Reborn, she took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance with Gu Yanzhao, the young master of the prestigious Gu family in the imperial capital. Rumor had it that he was cold and ruthless, his moods unpredictable. But determined to overturn her fate, Ning Zhi was set on changing the ending.
The news sent the entire imperial capital into an uproar!
First came the skeptics, claiming that an illegitimate daughter was deluding herself by trying to climb the social ladder and change her fate, and that she'd end up disgracing herself. Then came the open and veiled mockery from her own family, calling her presumptuous.
Yet in just one week, Ning Zhi had not only secured the engagement, but also earned the right to move into the Gu residence.
The Ning elders who had looked down on her now all rushed to curry favor with her.
Just as Ning Zhi wondered whether to expose their disgusting true colors, Gu Yanzhao appeared, cool and aloof in the eyes of outsiders. He wrapped an arm around her waist and asked haughtily, "Mrs. Gu, when did you get to know these filthy people?"
Ning Zhi raised an eyebrow, a smile spreading across her lips. "Apart from my parents, you're the only one I have."
The man pulled her closer and announced to everyone, "Mrs. Gu is the woman I, Gu Yanzhao, will love most in this life!"
