After her noble family falls, Si Lan and her elder sister are sold into a duke’s household.
Si Lan fights for every meal, every quilt, and every chance to survive, while her sister gives away the rewards and accepts the praise for her generosity.
In her first life, Si Lan’s sacrifices make her sister the heir’s concubine.
When his wife has Si Lan framed, the sister she protected refuses to save her.
Beaten to death, Si Lan wakes at the beginning of their servitude with every memory intact.
This time, her sister can fend for herself.
Armed with a sharp tongue and knowledge of the future, Si Lan begins working toward something far more valuable than a master’s favor: her freedom.
