Su Lingqing, in order to keep her entire household safe, followed her family’s persuasion and married Prince Ning in place of her younger sister, Su Yaoyao, living as a substitute bride for eighteen years.
For eighteen years of that forced marriage, she struggled to survive at the side of the cruel and violent Prince Ning. In the end, however, she was tortured to death by both her own family and Prince Ning himself.
Simply because she had become an obstacle to their rise to power. Simply because, from the very beginning, she had been nothing more than a disposable pawn.
After her tragic death, Su Lingqing was reborn eighteen years earlier. At that time, she had not yet reached adulthood, and her vicious stepmother was already preparing to marry her off to a worthless scoundrel.
Now that she has returned to life, her former kindness and weakness are long gone. A wicked beauty reborn, she stuns the capital with her brilliance.
No good people in the Minister’s household?
Slaughter them!
Prince Ning dares to approach her again?
Kill him too!
More and more enemies block her path of revenge?
No matter one strike, one life.
She had thought that in this second life she would walk alone, blade in hand, waiting for the perfect moment to kill all her enemies. She never expected that someone had been silently following behind her all along.
When Su Lingqing suddenly turns back, he says:
“Qingqing, just do what you must. Beyond your line of sight, I have always been here.”
