In her past life, Ling Yue was infatuated with the Fifth Princess, Lu Weiying. She helped her ascend the throne, guarded her borders, and sacrificed her hands and eyes—only to be rewarded not with a phoenix crown and bridal robes, but with a cup of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family.
Lu Weiying despised her, accusing her of ruthlessly causing her own sister’s death and claiming she was unworthy of love.
After drinking the poison, Ling Yue opened her eyes to find herself back at the moment they first met, the very day she encountered Lu Weiying being beaten by palace maids, the event that set everything in motion.
Attempting to avoid the encounter, Ling Yue took a different path but was drawn in by a faint, cold fragrance of plum blossoms. A night of recklessness followed, and upon waking, she stared in despair at the coldly beautiful face beside her.
The Eldest Princess, Lu He? She had actually marked the Eldest Princess!
The Eldest Princess appeared indifferent to court affairs, yet the frequent changes in emperors were all due to her swift executions. In Ling Yue’s past life, the schemes she and Lu Weiying devised were nothing but child’s play in this woman’s eyes.
As panic set in, the drowsy Eldest Princess opened her eyes.
Ling Yue’s scalp tingled with fear. “What has happened cannot be undone. What does Your Highness think of this subject?”
Expecting to lose her head, Ling Yue was filled with resentment until she heard a soft laugh.
“This princess finds it quite acceptable.”
Ling Yue was stunned. “Huh?”
From then on, everything veered off its original course. Lu He’s palace was filled with roses, Ling Yue’s favorite flowers. As the breeze rustled the blossoms, the decisive and ruthless Eldest Princess smiled and took her hand, saying, “My Yue’er is the finest woman in the world.”
After her rebirth, Ling Yue often dreamed of someone placing a bouquet of roses before her grave, their robes carrying a subtle plum blossom fragrance. The figure would pour a cup of wine and murmur with a soft laugh, “Silly girl, I’ve avenged you.”
Lu Weiying was also reborn. She never expected that killing Ling Yue would provoke her aunt’s relentless retaliation. This time, she resolved to pretend even if it took a lifetime.
At a palace banquet, Ling Yue appeared with elegant hair and resplendent robes, radiantly beautiful, unlike the weary woman Lu Weiying remembered. Surprised and unable to suppress her feelings, Lu Weiying prepared to approach only to see her aunt sitting beside Ling Yue, gently wiping the corner of her mouth with a tender smile. “Take your time.”
Ling Yue paused, then chuckled softly and reached out to tidy Lu He’s long hair.
Furious and desperate, Lu Weiying confronted Ling Yue after repeated failed attempts: “Why don’t you love me?”
Ling Yue scoffed. “Fifth Princess, know your place. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, you are hypocritical and fickle utterly unworthy of love.”
When Lu He was young, she met a lost little girl who told her she was beautiful and promised to marry her one day.
Thirteen years later, when her love poison flared, it was a twist of fate that brought her and the girl together. She couldn’t resist teasing her, only to find herself transformed from hunter to prey.
