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

"Little Miss Jiang, what's special about that 'beggar bird'?" Old General Jih, probably a foodie, didn't show any particular emotion toward Jiang Li's tragic experiences; he merely pursued, "I've only heard of beggar chicken, not beggar bird."


"Actually, it's similar to beggar chicken," Jiang Li said with a smile, "A bird brought down by a slingshot, cleaned up and not de-feathered, with some seasonings stuffed inside its belly, wrapped in clay, and buried in the hot ashes of a fire. After about half an hour, you take it out and knock off the clay, and the feathers come off naturally, revealing a beautifully golden color; then brushed with honey, it can be eaten."


Old General Jih slapped his thigh, "This is great! I'll go and shoot a string of birds tomorrow!"


"Old man, it's freezing cold. Where are you going to find birds..." Lu Jiu said helplessly.


"You lead a rich life," Jih Heng said, propping his chin with one hand, smiling as he looked at her.
