[A proud prince gives up his kingdom for love, then pursues his wife through a dramatic redemption arc.] HE
Liang Lingyue, a powerful Grand Princess, has lived by one belief: power is truth.
But she never imagined she would be charged with treason and handed a cup of poison by her own imperial younger brother.
When she opens her eyes again, she has become Cui Yuwei, a concubine-born daughter of the Jiangnan Cui family, so lowly that even the family's dogs can trample her.
A campaign of cruel indulgence? Poison?
She gladly accepts the poisoned wine offered by her "dear elder sister."
Then she turns around and pours it down the other woman's throat. "This 'blessing' is yours!"
After dealing with the scum, she heads straight for the capital.
There, she sees her seventeen-year-old self whipping the commoners in the street. This very scandal is what first dragged Liang Lingyue into the struggle for imperial power.
To prevent that catastrophe, Cui Yuwei ruins her schemes and destroys her marriage prospects!
[An Interlude]
One day, Cui Yuwei is harassed by a noblewoman, while Shen Yixing watches with his arms folded.
But when the noblewoman "accidentally" spills hot tea on Cui Yuwei, Shen Yixing instantly steps in front of her and kicks the noblewoman away.
The entire room falls silent.
Shen Yixing flicks his scalded, reddened hand and raises an eyebrow at Cui Yuwei. "What are you looking at? I can't stand people who waste fine tea."
