[A cold-faced, cold-hearted young lady who can dish it out and put on a show VS a devoted, scheming, lovesick wolfdog of a stable boy]
She died a miserable death in her previous life, betrayed by the person who shared her bed!
Reborn in a new life, she will trample the scum, deal with the wicked woman, and lead her family to glory.
At home, she turns her enemies' tricks against them, keeping her malicious uncle and his wife in check;
outside, she puts her businesses in order and amasses wealth, earning the emperor's favor through her contributions to disaster relief.
In public, he is the lowliest stable boy, serving her every need and clearing the way ahead.
In secret, he is the wealthiest merchant in the trade association and a future general who guards the nation. For ten years, he has plotted a great upheaval that will reshape the world.
At last, he stands at the summit and reaches out to her. "My lady, I am obsessive and cold. My love is heavy and filthy beyond redemption. Knowing that, would you still take my hand?"
