Ye Yunshu, an elite agent, had taken countless lives on blood-soaked missions, only to be betrayed by a close friend and meet her end. To her surprise, she is reborn as a pitiful disposable character in a harem novel, hopelessly in love with the male lead and doomed to be used and discarded.
She thought she'd only have to deal with the scheming and infighting of an aristocratic household, take down her hypocritical half-sister, and put her wicked aunt in her place. A simple chance to show off her skills. But who could have guessed that secrets from the previous dynasty would emerge like a spreading fog, while a current of royal power struggles churned beneath the calm surface?
Caught in a whirlpool of schemes and intrigues, can Ye Yunshu use the wisdom of her past life to break free from the cage of her predetermined fate? The dreams of the previous dynasty and the royal family's machinations all become scenes in a misty painting. Amid the romance and power struggles, who will claim all the glory?
Scheming, gentle top x aloof, insecure bottom (both strong)
