Gu Yun was the true daughter of the Changeng Marquis Household, a noble darling of heaven who had been lost outside the family. She suffered endless torment and died on the street, wrapped in a straw mat.

After her death, Gu Yun received a book of fate and learned that she was the one destined to be favored by fortune in this world. Her cousin, Xue Yi, had stolen the happy, peaceful life that should have been hers.

Xue Yi possessed a priceless treasure called the Fateweaver Jade. As long as she drank Gu Yun's blood, the jade could change the words in the book of fate.

[The emperor dies, the Third Prince ascends the throne, and Xue Yi is made empress.]

In the magnificent palace, Xue Yi sits upon the phoenix throne, smiling as she accepts the officials' homage.

Gu Yun is so furious that she faints.

When she wakes, she hears Xue Yi's gentle voice beside her: "Xiao Yun, let's go pray at the Xiangguo Temple together."

Gu Yun's gaze falls on the jade hanging from Xue Yi's waist.

The jade has one weakness: it craves the blood of the one favored by fortune, and fears her tears most of all.

As soon as it comes into contact with her heartfelt tears, the fate book altered by the jade will correct itself.

Gu Yun smiles. "Cousin, let's go."

She wants to see just how disgusted the Marchioness of Changeng will be with this impostor pretending to be her daughter once she notices that the birthmark on Xue Yi's wrist has disappeared.
