She had no desire to compete for power in the struggle among the nine princes.
All she wanted was to hide away in her own little courtyard, far from court intrigue and the bloody storms that followed their verbal sparring.
A scandalous affair ended in bloodshed at Luming Garden. The maid who had grown up by her side was beaten beyond recognition, and she too became caught up in the disaster. Not one of her attendants survived.
She spent her whole life trembling with fear, only to end up with nothing.
Reborn, the boldest thing she ever did was stop the treacherous minister whom everyone hated and clutch his robe as she said, "Chen Cheng, rather than choosing them, choose me."
She knew that the man who had stood by and watched was the true mastermind behind it all.
She had never wanted power. Chen Cheng had forced her hand.
From now on, she would stand in the spotlight, while Chen Cheng worked behind the scenes.
They would scheme and calculate their way to the very end.
The Outcast, supreme over all others.
