Reborn on the day of the Qujiang Poetry Gathering, Su Qingyan vows to reclaim the literary reputation and life stolen from her over ten years. She exposes her legitimate elder sister, Su Lingshu, for passing off forged poems written by someone else as her own, stunning the literary world with her genuine talent. She settles accounts one by one with those who tormented her in her previous life and repays those who stole her achievements many times over. Entering the Imperial Painting Academy, leading literary societies, battling aristocratic families, and investigating corruption, she wields her brush and ink as a blade and her scholarship as armor. She shatters every disguise worn by her elder sister and makes the Su family pay a terrible price, ultimately living with a brilliance that belongs entirely to her.
