Looks-wise, I’m ranked second in the capital.

I am Ye Su Xi, the second most beautiful woman in the capital, gifted in both literature and martial arts. I hide behind the mask of a gentle young lady, all to avenge my mother, who died tragically after being transported to this world. My mother was poisoned out of fear by the queen, who was also a time-traveler. My father is cold and heartless, my half-sister snatched away my engagement and glory, and long-standing grudges run deep.

At the Flower Hairpin Banquet, I took the initiative and married the notorious Sixth Prince, Yuan Chongyi. We both are wolves and tigers at heart, each with our schemes, using each other to stir up turmoil in the court. I moved step by step, tearing apart my half-sister, toppling the Ye family, poisoning the queen, and eliminating countless enemies. But under imperial power, there is never true loyalty. Yuan Chongyi wanted to dispose of me once I was no longer useful, forcing me to bear the infamy of regicide.

In the direst situation, I struck back, killing both the emperor and the prince, bidding farewell to my past identity, and joining forces with the ambitious Gu Juan'an. Together, we broke feudal shackles, carried out a new policy for women, waged wars far and wide, and with both blade and strategy, carved out a new world of freedom for all women.
