Shen Sihua was an orphan in her former life. One day, she transmigrated into the body of a down-and-out legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Dingguo’s household, where her father ignored her, her vicious stepmother tormented her, and her foolish half-sister bullied her.
Faced with such a tragic situation, Shen Sihua had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and get to work.
When her stepmother and half-sister came looking for trouble, she beat them until even their own parents wouldn’t recognize them.
When her scumbag ex wanted to get back together, she told him, sorry, someone else had already picked this flower, and she wasn’t interested in him anymore.
When the vicious empress tried to scheme against her, Shen Sihua turned the tables on her and made sure she couldn’t remain empress.
As for the ill-intentioned, treacherous prince, Shen Sihua did a quick reading and schemed until he was penniless.
She had no idea when she’d attracted the attention of the powerful Regent, who stuck to her every day, begging for her affection.
An unseen hand began to set the pieces in motion, trapping everyone in the game so that no one could escape unscathed. Conflict between the hero and heroine erupted again and again, until they drew their swords against each other and swore never to meet again, alive or dead.
As layer upon layer of fog lifted, the truth finally came to light. He was consumed with regret, but she had already turned and walked away.
