After Yun Xiu survives a staged drowning, she claims she has returned from a disastrous first life.
Armed with memories of the future, she steals her concubine-born sister Yun Xia’s fiancé, certain that Wen Changfeng is destined to become prime minister.
Yun Xia yields without protest—but only because she has spent years building a fortune and plotting revenge for the mother Yun Xiu left to drown.
While Yun Xiu chases status and love for a second time, Yun Xia quietly guides every ambition toward ruin.
Some sins cannot be atoned for in a single lifetime.
