Luo Ning was gravely wounded while protecting the Empress Dowager, earning a noble title for her family. After recovering for three years in the South, she returned to find her cousin occupying her courtyard and even replacing her in everyone’s hearts. Luo Ning’s parents and brother doted on her cousin, her grandmother admired her, and even Luo Ning’s childhood friend secretly adored her cousin, claiming she excelled Luo Ning in every way. When Luo Ning protested, they plotted together and killed her.

After spending eighteen years as a ghost, witnessing the terrible fate that befell those who wronged her, Luo Ning returned to life.

She lived again.

This time, she intended to live boldly.

Reborn and determined to have revenge, Luo Ning sought out the Regent Prince as her protector.

“Outwardly, you are Princess Yong, but in truth, you belong to me. One day, I shall help you fake your death, escape, and begin anew.”
