In her previous life, Gu Ying lived a tragic existence, blinded by the deceits of her own family and society. Ignored, mistreated, and burdened with the care of her sickly younger brother, she was painted as a woman of ill repute. But after a brush with death and a chance to return, Gu Ying is no longer the naive girl who lets others dictate her fate.
When she encounters Su Huanfeng, the young marquis rumored to be a dissolute playboy, she discovers a man far more insightful and protective than the world believes. As she navigates the dangerous waters of the Dongping Earl Manor and prepares to settle scores with the scumbags who ruined her before, she finds herself entangled in a fated connection that transcends old marriage contracts and societal labels. With the whole city suddenly turning their eyes toward her, Gu Ying must choose her own path to happiness.
