In her previous life, Meng Shutong was used by the crown prince. After helping him ascend the throne, she was cast aside and ultimately died a miserable death in the Cold Palace.
Reborn at fifteen, all she wants this time is to protect her parents and loved ones, shut out love, and live freely, repaying kindness and revenge alike.
Meng Shutong makes the murderers of her parents and younger brother wish they were dead.
With a small scheme, she helps the cousin who plotted against her leap straight into a pit of fire.
She won't spare the palace maids who abused her or the consorts who tried to poison her, either.
The crown prince comes shamelessly pleading. "Marry me, and you'll be mistress of the six palaces one day!"
Meng Shutong sneers. "You won't be crown prince for much longer!"
The young prince says, "Do whatever you want. I'll take care of the aftermath!"
Wait, why is he everywhere? How does he know everything? And why is the young prince looking at her less and less innocently?
It turns out that in this life, revenge isn't the only unexpected delight awaiting her...
