Shen Zhiwei is reborn back to the day of choosing a marriage match. In her previous life, she chose the crown prince's wooden hairpin and became empress, only to be poisoned by the Shen family, her corpse abandoned in a potter's field, while her elder stepsister Shen Mingzhu usurped her posthumous glory. In this life, she changes her choice, picking the jade hairpin and marrying Lu Chenzhou, a hunter in the eyes of the world. After marriage, she breaks free from the shackles of the Shen family's bias, masters skills for self-preservation, and gradually discovers her husband is actually Chu Xuance, the surviving legitimate son of the late empress. Facing the crown prince's entanglement and her elder sister's repeated harms, the two join hands to gather evidence, uncover years of conspiracies, and reclaim justice for both lifetimes. When the dust settles, Zhiwei lets go of past grievances, stays with her loved one, and walks together toward her own bright future.
