In her previous life, Yun Chu, the daughter of a noble family, married into a poor household. She devoted herself to her husband’s rise, shielding his family from every storm, only to be repaid with betrayal, poisoning, and the massacre of her entire clan. She swore that if she were ever given another life, she would make the traitors suffer a hundredfold.

Breaking free from an endless cycle of fate at the cost of everything, she is reborn. This time, she wields gentleness as her blade and cold resolve as her shield, advancing step by step as she secretly stirs the currents of court politics.
