Synopsis

According to the histories, the Prince of Han of Beifu was a madman who rebelled to seize Lian Ji. After his defeat, his bones were ground to dust and scattered.

Yan Zheng never imagined that she would personally live through one of the most momentous events in the history of the Xia Dynasty after its founding.

After suffering the unbearable pain of losing her child and seeing her entire family executed, she used her own death to deal Empress Dowager Lian Ji a devastating blow.

But she did not die. Instead, she awoke thirty years earlier, aboard a carriage bound for the Prince of Han's estate in the north, as one of the beauties about to be presented to him.

Reborn against the course of history, what did it matter if she turned the world upside down?

But sometimes I think it would have been better if I never had. If I’d never received it, how could losing it hurt so much?
