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

Jiang Youyao stared blankly at the scene before her, suddenly realizing that whether it was Madam Jiang the Elder or Jiang Yuanbai, they now had no means to control Jiang Li. It seemed as though no matter what Jiang Li did, they would concede.


Yes, concede. Because Jiang Li could always easily provoke their guilt and knew their bottom line so well that she would make the maximum demands within it.


Jiang Youyao, unwilling to give in, was about to say more when Madam Jiang the Elder had someone coldly order to take Jiang Youyao back to Yaoguang Mansion.


Jiang Youyao was shocked, not understanding why she, the victim, should be the one punished. She wanted to plead with Jiang Yuanbai, hoping to stir his sympathy for her, but Jiang Yuanbai only looked at Jiang Li with a complex expression. As Jiang Youyao watched, the fire in her eyes gradually died.


Without saying a word, she let Madam Jiang the Elder's people "escort" her back to her courtyard.
