What could Third Miss Liu possibly do wrong? She just wants to fight and take what she wants. The world says she isn’t destined to become empress, so she insists on becoming one! From the Hall of Treasures, she can see the flames soaring over the capital. She says, "I can’t protect this country. It’s rotten to the core, so let’s flatten it and build a new order and civilization on its bones." Later, she says, "I wasn’t the one who lit the last fire that destroyed the capital, but I did fan the flames... I was the one who started the first fire." After being reborn, Third Miss Liu stops fighting and grabbing for power. She tries wearing flowers in her hair like her older sister, but she can’t stop thinking of the northern frontier’s sandstorms and the spring days spent riding horses across Yanhui Mountain. She never expected that in this life, her cousin the Crown Prince would fall for her, as would the heir to a noble house, the young prince, and even the chancellor who condemned her in court in her previous life... And that young marquis... His feelings run even deeper.
