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

Indeed, after another half an hour, Meng Hongjin began to slow down, and Jiang Li, cautious, followed suit and slowed her pace, maintaining the same distance from Meng Hongjin as at the start. This made for an odd situation on the field; even Jiang Youyao and others who were lagging behind had almost caught up to them, nearly running side by side.


"What's going on?" People outside couldn't understand: "Is the horse of the Commandant of Light Chariots not performing well? Could it be that it wasn't fed this morning?"


"Nonsense!" Kong Liu, who was an examiner at the Inspection Field, couldn't help but retort without caring about his position, turning around through the crowd and cursing back: "I added extra night feed last night; how could it be hungry?"


"Then is it because it overate that it can't run?" The crowd burst into laughter.
