The story begins in the year 1967.

A seemingly delicate yet extraordinarily strong female lead vs. a paranoid and insecure male lead.

Su Yue, the legitimate daughter of a general’s household, was confined to a courtyard by her scumbag father and stepmother from a young age. They fed her drugs that enhanced her beauty, all to present her as a gift to the emperor.
But the drugs came with a deadly side effect: Su Yue would only live until she turned twenty.

After catching the emperor’s eye, Su Yue used his power to reclaim her mother’s dowry.
To avenge her maternal family, her mother, and herself, the powerless Su Yue attempted to assassinate the emperor—dragging her father and stepmother down to hell with her.
The entire General’s Manor was executed.

Then, to her surprise, Su Yue was reborn with her memories intact—this time into the 1950s as the youngest daughter of Su Dahai in the Hekou Brigade.

Even the Orchid Courtyard that had trapped her for ten years in her past life came with her into this one.

In this life, her new parents and elder brothers doted on her dearly.
In her third year of middle school, Li Xiangbei entered her life.
After graduating from high school, she married him.

This time around, Su Yue lived freely, unapologetically, and completely as herself.
