Xie Anning was originally from the 21st century. Who could have expected that she would transmigrate to the Xie family of Qingzhou? After her family was wiped out, she disguised herself as a man and, through a twist of fate, entered the palace, becoming the emperor's most favored chief eunuch. Countless people tried to curry favor with her.
But she was bewitched by the aloof, tender-hearted empress. She spent years making careful plans for her, supporting her son until he took the throne and making her the most exalted woman in the harem.
Yet once everything was settled, the empress stabbed her to death.
Perhaps the gods heard the resentment in her heart and granted her another chance at life.
In this life, she deliberately keeps her distance, yet events continue to be propelled in a certain direction by unseen forces.
The one surprise is that Consort Yang, with whom she shared a night of passion in her previous life, now sends her flirtatious glances and uses every trick in the book to lure her into bed.
As one mystery after another is revealed, her heart loses its way.
Who killed her in her previous life? And who wiped out the Xie family?
Why was she able to live her life over again? Was it the heavens showing mercy, or did someone pay a price to bring her back?
After her return, Empress Jiang Zhiqing drugs the emperor and then courts her.
Consort Yang is captivatingly seductive and insists that she and Xie Anning were betrothed as children.
And so, she becomes the harem's one and only madwoman.
