Three months after Meng Tingfeng returns to the Minister's residence, her stepmother dies suddenly and her adoptive sister falls ill. Her family brands her a monster who brings death to others, then sets the house on fire and burns her alive!
Her father, who has always treated her coldly, her younger brother, who constantly tormented her, and even the scholar she once saved feel no remorse over her death. Their eyes are all fixed on the beloved adoptive sister they have spoiled endlessly.
Reborn, Meng Tingfeng pretends to be an innocent, pure-hearted girl and casts family affection aside.
Her adoptive sister has her eyes on General Pu?
Too bad. General Pu got drunk last night and confessed his feelings to Meng Tingfeng.
Then she turns her attention to the chancellor?
But when the lofty chancellor sees Meng Tingfeng's true, wicked nature, he doesn't back away. Instead, he moves closer and willingly becomes her pawn.
Her biased father looks at her through tearful eyes. “Tingfeng, I was wrong. Your father made a mistake. Can you forgive me?”
Her younger brother, who always did whatever their adoptive sister told him, kneels before her too.
“Sister, I was foolish before. Can you forgive me?”
Before the ungrateful scholar is thrown into prison, he bangs his head against the stone steps in front of her room until they're covered in blood. “Tingfeng, please, save me one more time!”
Unfortunately for them, the softhearted Meng Tingfeng died in the fire long ago. The woman she is now will never look back at them again.
