The Lady of Xue Family, unparalleled in both beauty and talent, married her ideal gentleman. They lived in harmonious and loving companionship for three years, during which her husband achieved the rank of top scholar.
But while the husband's fame rose, his wife's status did not. His craving for titles and wealth led him to seek the position as Prince Consort, and he saw her as a stumbling stone on his path to marrying the princess—so he killed his wife and wiped out his line.
The arrogant princess stood in front of her ruins and mocked, "Even if you are exceptionally beautiful and learned, you are ultimately just a lowly official's daughter. Crushing you to death is as easy for me as crushing an ant!"
Her reputation tarnished, she took her own life by hanging. Her younger brother, seeking justice, was killed by the powerful, and her elderly father, upon hearing the tragic news, fell ill and departed from this world.
In the forty-second year of Hongxiao, Yanjing's number one beauty, Xue Fangfei, met her untimely end, only to be reborn in the body of the drowned Chief Minister's daughter, Jiang Li!
She stepped into the household of high society, where dark and sordid secrets were ceaseless. She confronted all manner of evil spirits and demons, giving as good as she got.
Once tender-hearted, she was now as sharp as a knife's edge! Jiang Li vowed never again to be trampled upon like a speck of dust. In this life, she would redress the injustices of her family and avenge the blood-debt of deep hatred!
He was the youngest Duke of Northern Yan—arrogantly beautiful, fickle in temper, collecting the world's strangest flora within his estate.
Everyone said that the Second Miss of the Jiang Family was ethereally charming, virtuous, and as pure and kind as a white Lotus Flower.
Dressed in resplendent red, he asked with a smile, "White Lotus Flower? She's clearly a Man-eating Flower that devours without spitting out bones."
Jiang Li, "Duke, be careful not to break your hand."
Jih Heng, "Such a ferocious Man-eating Flower is, of course, to be snatched up and brought back to my estate to guard it." 
Arrogantly beautiful man vs. noble daughter, a bewitching male lead and a white lotus heroine, join forces, tormenting the whole world. Are you scared yet?

The Double

Xiao Deyin began teaching as soon as she entered Mingyi Hall. Jiang Li watched her familiar figure, her thoughts flying far away.


After Shen Yurong won the title of top scholar, Jiang Li had encountered the Mingyi Hall teachers, who instructed in the Six Arts, on several occasions. Aside from Jin Luo, who held considerable hostility towards her, the rest of the teachers each had their own temperaments. Among them, Xiao Deyin was the one Jiang Li felt most akin to.


Since Xiao Deyin was the most gentle by nature, she always came to smooth things over whenever Jin Luo intentionally targeted Jiang Li. Jiang Li likewise admired Xiao Deyin's talent. As Yanjing City's foremost female musician, her skill with the Seven-tone Zither was mesmerizing, and she had almost been summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager because of this talent. However, Xiao Deyin preferred not to be a court musician, choosing instead to be a modest female teacher in Mingyi Hall.
