After transmigrating, she spends ten years lying low to clear her father's name. The moment she returns, she is swept into the infighting of the inner household. Her stepmother and aunts take turns plotting against her and even attempting to kill her, while her jealous, arrogant half-sisters frame her.
She is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Vice Minister of War, the unparalleled young gentleman Liyue, and the wealthiest person in Youyun. She is also courted by royalty and nobility alike. She's always been the one scheming against and bullying others. Since when could anyone act high and mighty in front of her?
Ruthless, wicked, shrewd, and cold-blooded, she schemes at every turn as she secretly investigates the truth. While she lays traps for others and watches with mocking disdain, she has no idea she has already fallen into an even greater conspiracy...
“Don't be afraid, my dear. Yan'er is here, and Yan'er will protect you.” When everyone turns against her and she is left helpless and despairing, he is still by her side, following her like a shadow.
