Shen Jinwan, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, was born into privilege and grew up with the young Marquis Jiang as childhood sweethearts.
Yet on the day of her engagement, she fled the marquis’s residence and went to Prince Qi’s manor to become a concubine.
In less than a year, the woman who had once been renowned throughout Shengjing and was the only female disciple of Xiyun Mountain had lost all her martial arts skills. She was left weak and frail, and locked away in the rear courtyard forever.
Ten years later, when they met again, she had already been banished to the Cold Palace, while Jiang Linyu had become commander of Nanling. He pulled her down from the city wall and hid her in the palace. Only when Shen Jinwan died from poison did she understand how deeply Jiang Linyu loved her.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she came of age. She swore she would never again be a sheltered young lady with a narrow view of the world. She would drag Li Jin into the abyss, and send every person who had stepped over her corpse to get ahead straight into the deepest hell!
