A Life of Splendor, Step by Step

In her previous life, Jiang Yuyao fought her father's concubine to the bitter end, only to lose because of her father's favoritism and die at the concubine's hands.

She watched helplessly as her father's beloved concubine seized her mother's dowry and caused the deaths of her younger brother and her maternal relatives. Her intense resentment brought Jiang Yuyao back to life.

She had to avenge her past life's wrongs, but she also had to build her career. It was better to rely on herself than on anyone else.
