Gu Zhizhuo felt that her previous life was cursed by the heavens, especially in the year she came of age, it was unbelievably unlucky.
Specifically, it manifested in:
1. She was born into a prestigious family, destined for wealth and nobility.
In the year she came of age, her family was confiscated and stripped of their titles, and her entire family perished.
2. She had been betrothed to the Crown Prince since childhood, destined to become the mother of the country.
In the year she came of age, her fiancé fell in love with someone else. To please his beloved, he destroyed her face and ruined her reputation.
3. She was exceptionally talented, skilled in both literature and martial arts.
In the year she came of age, however, she became known throughout the capital as a good-for-nothing, a spoiled and ignorant fool.
Meanwhile, her orphaned cousin Ji Nanke, who had been living in her home, was doing better and better.
She didn’t have to do anything—status, wealth, fame, even the title of Crown Princess all came to her on their own.
Everyone in the Da Qi Dynasty knew her as a girl blessed with good fortune.
It wasn’t until after her death that she finally understood that Ji Nanke’s good fortune had been stolen from her.
No wonder, in the year she came of age, their fates were completely reversed.
Good news: She was reborn.
Bad news: The moment she opened her eyes, her fiancé was conspiring with the imperial physician to drug her and ruin her face.
What they don’t know was that in her previous life, despite being plagued by bad luck, she painstakingly studied medicine, divination, and astrology, and she nearly became the State Preceptor.

In her previous life, Gu Zhizhuo barely survived exile and countless near-death experiences. It wasn’t until she met Xie Yingchen, whose own life also hung by a thread, that she finally had a chance to breathe.
Xie Yingchen was the late emperor’s eldest legitimate grandson—the former Crown Prince.
He taught her, cared for her, and paved a smooth road for her future.
Then, burdened by a lifetime of hatred and illness, he passed away.
Now, with everything reset, Xie Yingchen hasn’t yet fallen critically ill.
Gu Zhizhuo is determined to find him and cure him.
