The legitimate daughter of the Ban family was clever all her life, yet one fateful Lantern Festival, she trusted someone close to her and met a grisly end. Her entire household was burned to ashes.
Fueled by the pain of her murder, the agony of her family's destruction, and the hatred of betrayal, she is reborn in flames, filled with resentment, defiance, and fury! She kills those who harbor treacherous intentions and puts her household in order. She kills scheming sisters and vicious villains, reclaiming everything that should have been hers!
Living a second life, she thought she would be tough as steel, never again entangled in right and wrong, karma, or romance. But then she crossed paths with that unreasonable, smiling fox.
"If you want a carefree life, then I'll give up everything and roam the world with you. If you want to become the empress of this capital, then I'll be your consort, ride into battle for you, and trample every worldly convention underfoot, so you can rest easy!"
"Your Highness, I'm vicious and ruthless, and I won't tolerate you taking three wives and four concubines. If you don't want your household in chaos and everyone living in fear, you'd better not come looking for trouble with me. Otherwise, I, Ban Jin, will tie you up if I have to, keep you locked away in the harem, and make sure you never see the light of day!"
"Hahaha! If it's you, then I'd gladly never take another consort and devote myself to raising you, little wolf. Even if you devour my flesh and blood, or use me as a stepping stone to climb higher and see farther, I'd do it willingly, and I'd savor every moment!"
