Gu Mengyao was originally the daughter of the reigning Right Prime Minister, Gu Yunyin. Pampered from childhood, she blindly fell in love with the Fourth Prince, Lin Yi. Lin Yi promised her that if she helped him ascend the throne, he would marry her as his empress. Gu Mengyao took his word for truth, yet after successfully aiding him to power, she was betrayed by him, and the Gu family was annihilated overnight. Opening her eyes once more, Gu Mengyao finds herself back before Lin Yi ascended the throne. Reborn, she has long seen through the hypocritical facades of Lin Yi and Ke Yuening. She decisively withdraws all aid from Lin Yi and chooses to devote all her resources to the Eighth Prince, Lin Langtian, who had silently loved her all along in her past life.
