Ling was a typical high school girl until a tragic accident ended her life—only for her to awaken in an unfamiliar body in a world of ancient traditions, hidden powers, and unbreakable family ties. Reborn into the powerful Feng family as a mere pawn, she quickly realizes that her new life is filled with betrayal and manipulation. The family sees her as nothing more than a tool, a vessel for their ambition, and they intend to use her for their gain. But Ling has lived one life already, and she isn’t willing to be a puppet in this one. With memories from her past life fueling her resilience, she begins to plot her escape from the family’s grasp. Using her knowledge of both her former world and the secrets of her new one, Ling gathers allies from among the overlooked members of the family, including Chen An, a determined rebel from a lesser branch, and her long-time protector, Liu Qing, who wrestles with his own growing feelings for her. As Ling manipulates the tangled alliances within the family, she learns more about its dark secrets and begins unraveling the power structures that bind her. But the deeper she goes, the more she finds herself entangled in dangerous games of power. Her knowledge from her previous life gives her an edge, but this world is relentless, and its betrayals cut deeper than anything she’s known. Caught between two lives, Ling is determined to forge her own path, reclaim her freedom, and rewrite her destiny. But with enemies closing in and her past life’s memories haunting her, can she find the strength to dismantle the world around her—or will the chains of her new family keep her forever bound?
