In her previous life, she was his hidden blade, wielding power across the realm. But when he traded the Imperial Jade Seal for another woman, she was accidentally killed by a blade.

Reborn as a merchant's daughter, she lives by one motto: Better to rely on yourself than on others.

She breaks off an engagement, saves her sisters, helps her mother divorce, leads her whole family into business, and takes the imperial exams, aiming to earn top honors in all six rounds.

When faced with coercion, she precisely targets the biggest "thigh" to cling to: Jiang Xiuran, Marquis of Zhenbei, who is rumored to have no interest in women.

After one "accidental" night together, she wants to settle their transaction and go their separate ways, but the man refuses coldly: "Don't even think about it. You have to take responsibility."

Forced into a bond with him, she discovers that this cold-faced killer is actually a wife-doting fanatic.

Yet storms are gathering...

A substitute noble consort, desperate to hold on to the happiness she stole, is willing to kill the people dearest to her;

An emperor who learns the truth and, in his madness to win her back, is willing to ally with foreign enemies.

Facing the storm sweeping toward them, she stands shoulder to shoulder with the man at her side.

In my previous life, you cast me aside for your empire. In this life, I will help the new emperor take your throne, seize your empire, and rule the world as empress!
