"Heaven gave me another chance, so I could come back and turn everything upside down."
Xiao He Xi was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, with the name of a legitimate daughter but none of the privileges.
Her mother died, her stepmother disliked her, and her father was cruel. She lived in the countryside until the age of twelve, when the tides claimed her life. Returning to the capital as the daughter of an official, the first thing Xiao He Xi did was seduce the handsome Ninth Prince, rumored to be a debauched playboy and the Crown Prince's favorite brother.
"The Ninth Prince is meant to take the upright path to the throne, while I'm meant to take the dark and treacherous road to hell. This court needs a gentleman like the Ninth Prince to set things right, but a court with only gentlemen is far from enough. The Ninth Prince and I can be partners, allies, but I will never become his subordinate."
