After three years in prison, Gu Qiurong had a dream.
In the dream, she died a gruesome death after a miserable life, all of it spent paving the way for the fake heiress.
On the day she was released, Gu Qiurong vowed that she would never live for anyone else again. In this cruel dynasty, she would find a way to make a life for herself.
The fake heiress's true colors were exposed, and all her closest relatives regretted what they had done. They knelt before her and begged for forgiveness.
Gu Qiurong: Not a chance! They would have to repay the pain they had inflicted on her a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
