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

Thinking of this, it seemed as if a new direction had opened up in front of her, and Jiang Li's mood lightened considerably. Her smile became more genuine when she spoke with Ye Mingyu again.


Ye Shijie vaguely sensed a change in Jiang Li's demeanor but couldn't figure out why. Seeing Jiang Li's smile bloom beautifully, so rarely free of schemes and calculations, he paused, and eventually, he swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.


Until she left the Ye Residence, Jiang Li's spirits remained quite high.


Bai Xue asked, "Miss, shall we return to the residence now?"


"Let's go back," Jiang Li said, looking at the sky. It was still early, and normally, she would have stayed at the Ye Residence a while longer, but since the guests, who were Ye Mingyu's brothers, were present, it was inconvenient for Jiang Li to stay. Now, with the snow still falling and the cold biting, and since there was nothing of importance to tend to, it was better to return home.
