In her previous life, Shen Zhanyue’s lover and childhood sweetheart were both taken hostage by assassins. Forced to choose between them, she lost the man she loved, Gu Qingci, heir to the Ningyuan Marquis household. She was made to marry Lu Yunzhou, the young general she had grown up with, and even allowed him to take his beloved, Liu Yingying, as a concubine.
After their marriage, she handed military power to Lu Yunzhou and used her status as regent princess to support the fallen Ningyuan Marquis household, making the Gu family the most powerful clan in Great Zhao.
Who could have guessed that Lu Yunzhou would join forces with the Gu family to stage a coup? And the one who had masterminded it all from behind the scenes was Gu Qingci, who had supposedly died years ago. Only when the man she loved ran a sword through her heart did Shen Zhanyue realize that the life-or-death choice she had faced back then had been an elaborate trap set for her!
Reborn, Shen Zhanyue faces the same choice once again. Looking at the two men held hostage on the cliff, she decisively orders her archers to fire!
This time, she will personally send both of them to hell.
Unexpectedly, both Gu Qingci and Lu Yunzhou regret what they did and kneel before her, begging for forgiveness.
But Shen Zhanyue turns away without a backward glance and throws herself into the arms of her sworn enemy. That delicate soul can barely take a bit of hardship, and is always using scheming, green-tea tactics to torment scoundrels and vie for affection.
Shen Zhanyue: “What else can I do? Of course I’ll spoil her man.”
