In her previous life, Xie Yaohua was switched at birth. She went from being the daughter of a marquis to a hunter's child. At seventeen, just as the marquis's family was about to bring her home, her adoptive parents and the fake heiress joined forces to frame her. Her virtue was destroyed, and her reputation ruined.
Her birth parents thought her filthy and refused to see her. One of her two brothers sent her a strip of white silk, the other a cup of poisoned wine. To survive, she could only become an assassin. In the end, her mission failed, and she was brutally silenced.
Reborn, Xie Yaohua kills her adoptive father, wipes out the wicked servants, and turns her hand against her own brothers!
So what if you are my birth parents? You gave me no chance to live in my last life. Why should I spare you in this one?
As for Xie Mingzhu, the fake heiress who climbed over her to become empress in her previous life, there's no rush. She'll raise her up high, then drag her down in one swift move, leaving her shattered and with nowhere to be buried!
In this life, Xie Yaohua lives only for revenge, yet she stirs the heart of a cool, detached Buddhist monk. He casts aside his ambitions of kingship and conquest, devoting himself entirely to his beloved.
She kills, he hides the bodies. She wants Xie Mingzhu to fall from the heights and be crushed to pieces, so he builds the stage and lets her make her grand entrance and give the performance of her life.
In the end, he ascends the throne and offers her the whole world as his betrothal gift, proposing to her in front of everyone: “Yaohua, will you be my empress and rule this realm by my side?”
