In this feudal society, the emperor is the law, and the wealthy don't even consider their servants human.

Is there nowhere safe in this world? Fortunately, there's someone powerful she can cling to.

Everyone in the capital knows that Xie Fangting of the Xie family took a concubine and treasures her like a precious jewel.

Little do they know, they're only using each other.

Coming soon: Reborn, I Become Famous Throughout the Capital

After a cup of poisoned wine, Pei Zhijin dies without ever learning why. She is reborn as Wan Xiuer, burdened with a heavy responsibility.

Her father suffers from a hidden illness and can't get out of bed. Her little sister is only five and can't work.

With the family on the verge of starvation, she decides to take up Su embroidery again to support them.

At first, there is a girl on a street in the capital selling handkerchiefs with exquisite stitching and lifelike designs.

Later, she opens a thriving shop, packed with customers, and everyone praises her work.

When her embroidery becomes famous throughout the capital, someone from the palace arrives to invite her to serve as a female official.

Pei Zhijin agrees without hesitation, intent on entering the palace to investigate the cause of her death.

She thrives in palace life, and the consorts vie to have her embroider for them. This smooth sailing doesn't last long before someone shatters her peace.

"I'm quite interested in the secret Miss Wan is hiding." Gong Lang whispers in her ear, his tone full of amusement.

Pei Zhijin steps back, her thoughts in turmoil and her face displeased. "I don't understand what the Imperial Preceptor means."
