Qin Yan had no idea what bad luck she’d had. All she did was burn a tattered straw mat, and some descendant of the Cowherd, a fortune-teller named Niu Banxian, sent her to ancient times.
She could put up with being sent to an alternate version of the past. What was worse was that she had to sell fifty straw mats before she could go home.
Was the old man crazy? He wouldn’t take her money, and insisted on keeping her here. The nerve!
On her very first day, she was kidnapped and dragged to a prince’s residence, where she was forced to serve a perverted prince.
Having lost both her money and her freedom, Qin Yan felt utterly hopeless. Fortunately, just when she was at her wit’s end, she met the gentle and refined Crown Prince.
With the Crown Prince’s help, Qin Yan finally escaped Prince Sheng’s clutches and settled safely in the Crown Prince’s palace. But her peaceful life lasted only a few days before the jealous Crown Princess found out. After enduring all manner of trouble at her hands, Qin Yan felt she had no reason to stay.
In the end, she left with a twinge of longing. Just as she was settling into an ordinary life, she was caught up once more in a carefully orchestrated scheme by Prince Sheng’s household.
She was forced to become his captive mistress, and at last, unable to bear it any longer, she fought back.
After provoking the hot-tempered and cruel Prince Sheng, what kind of life awaits her now?
