Who could have guessed that the moment she opened her eyes, she would find herself in hell? Dressed in funeral clothes and lying in a coffin, she faces a wicked servant holding poisoned wine, ready to take her life. And her “dear husband” is in the front courtyard, celebrating his wedding to another woman!

Her stepson, now emperor, gazes at her dreamily: “She understands me so well. She must be my one true love, fated by Heaven!” The Grand Secretary's eyes turn red: “She's finally back. This time, I will hold on to her!” Worst of all, the cold, ascetic, handsome young Grand Secretary looks at her with reddening ears and a yearning gaze, murmuring hoarsely, “Sister, don't go…” Wen Zhiyi is bewildered. In her last life, wasn't he indifferent to women? What are this father and son up to? Never mind. First, she'll focus on her career. Men can wait!
