[Power-hungry, scheming younger sister who loves only power vs. older brother who goes mad for love]
[Female lead is not a virgin, male lead is; the ascetic saint falls from his pedestal]
Ye Lanxi was born into humble circumstances, but possessed a face everyone adored.
With that face, she first persuaded Ye Xuanhe to take her home and give her the status of a legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Then she coaxed her nominal elder brother into plotting every which way to secure the empress's throne for her.
After marrying into the imperial family, she became empress, ruling over all beneath the heavens. Ye Lanxi had finally achieved her dream of being second only to one person and superior to all others. But she had been empress for less than half a year when the emperor suddenly died in the palace, and she became a prisoner.
At the moment before her death, Ye Lanxi thought bitterly that if she could live her life over, she would certainly choose a husband with the brightest prospects of ascending the throne.
After being reborn, Ye Lanxi still refused to give up her dream of becoming empress. She abandoned her husband from her previous life and turned to curry favor with another man.
Everything was witnessed by her elder brother, Ye Xuanhe.
/
Ye Xuanhe had made two mistakes in his life:
First, he had taken pity on Ye Lanxi and brought her home that year.
Second, later on, he had watched helplessly as she went astray, unable to do anything about it.
After getting a second chance at life, he looked at his younger sister, who had not yet married and was already passing between different men. For the first time, his gentle face showed anger.
Later, everyone in the capital was saying that the legitimate daughter of the Ye family had died of illness on the eve of her wedding. It was truly a pity.
Yet no one knew that, through all those endless nights afterward, Ye Lanxi had pleaded with her former elder brother to let her go.
But how could a rabid dog driven mad ever easily let go of the delicate flower he'd regained?
