Hell hath a woman’s fury. Especially if she crawled out from the depths of hell. In a vast continent, known as the Central Plains, empires rise and fall; states splinter and form again. Hell sent back Yinyue back in time to change the fate of the Central Plains. When she died in her first life, she swore, “I’ll be a red spider lily feeding on the corpses of my enemies. The more corpses lay below my feet, the more beautiful I’ll bloom.” In the Dayan Empire, the Grand Prince Yinyue died once. Her first life lived as discarded political pawn — a Dayan princess in an alliance marriage, ended in her tragic death in Gaoyang state. With a second chance at life given, she wades in the muddied political waters of the Central Plains, against the deadly political machinations of the Empress and her five rival Grand Prince, all half-brothers. Unknown to her, Hell also sent two others back. Both men — one she trusted and the other she never met in her first life. And they have their hidden agendas. Their paths converge in in a dangerous political chess game — how will their change affect each other and the fate of the Central Plains? More importantly, can they change their previous fates? Who will survive the political and military intrigue, assassinations, underworld syndicates, plots, battle of wits and fast-changing alliances that plague the Central Plains?
