Lin Yanxi is a “half-baked” mystical arts practitioner who never tells complete lies and never fully tells the truth. In her past life, she was bound by her fate and died before reaching twenty.
.
After death, she inexplicably transmigrates into a novel, becoming a completely insignificant tool-like character who only appears twice in the entire story—even less important than a cannon fodder role.
.
Her biological parents abandoned her for over ten years. During that time, she was exploited and bullied by the concubines in the household, while her parents turned a blind eye.
.
When her parents finally decide to reunite the family, they bring back a young woman who is intelligent, gentle, and virtuous.
.
From that moment on, Lin Yanxi, the original legitimate young lady, is demoted overnight to the “second young lady.”
.
Her mother constantly compares her to the adopted daughter, believing Lin Yanxi is inferior in every way, even thinking she is malicious, dirty, and full of schemes.
.
Little do they know—the adopted daughter is actually the one full of hidden schemes.
.
The adopted daughter intends to use the Lin family’s influence to get closer to powerful nobles and ultimately destroy the most courageous and formidable cold-faced War God of the Northern Li Kingdom.
.
What she doesn’t know is that the War King can hear Lin Yanxi’s thoughts—so no secret remains hidden.
