In her previous life, Jiang Jinlan took it upon herself to switch her engagement, arranged by her mother, from Xiao Junhao, the illegitimate eldest son of the Duke's Estate, to the heir, Xiao Junyao.

Who could have known that her mother-in-law and husband would conspire against her? On her wedding night, her reputation was ruined, she was demoted from wife to concubine, her dowry was drained, and her only child was brutally killed. She herself was pushed into a lotus pond and drowned.

After her death, the one who brought each of her killers to justice was none other than Xiao Junhao, the Chief Minister she had rejected years ago.

Reborn on her wedding night, she deliberately pretended to have been drugged and pushed open the Chief Minister's door. "Brother Hao, please, be gentle with me…"

He refused to help her, but someone had already tampered with the incense burner in the room. The usually cool and dignified Chief Minister soon lost his composure and began to falter.

From then on, he became her devoted captive.

She took revenge without restraint on everyone who had hurt her in her previous life. Ensnared by her temptations, he had no choice but to clean up after her.

Later, the emperor issued an edict betrothing him to a princess.

With her revenge complete, she decided to leave and let him have the bright future he deserved.

Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped on her way out.

In the dim secret chamber, the Chief Minister smiled strangely, his refined features touched with a sinister air. "Sister-in-law, did you really think that incense that night could make me lose control?"
