With no one to rely on, she'll rely on herself.
But later, Qiong Jiu regrets it!
At the banquet marking the ascension of Cang Ming, a High God of the celestial realm, the marriage pact between Cang Ming and her older sister Ying Luo has just been finalized when Qiong Jiu discovers that she and Cang Ming had already known each other in a previous life.
Watch as this cunning princess advances step by step, winning over the cold-faced High God.
