The Story of Virtue and Blade
Once celebrated as a woman of rare virtue and beauty, married into the powerful Liu family, believing she had stepped into a life of security and respect. Instead, marriage became her prison. Her husband cruel, indifferent, and obsessed with status never treated her as a wife, only as a decorative possession.
Beaten, ignored, and abandoned by her in-laws, she endured years of silent suffering until illness finally claimed her life. On her deathbed, with nothing left but regret, she closed her eyes believing her story had ended.
But fate is not finished with her.
Madam Liu awakens to find herself ten years in the past, at the moment when everything is about to begin. Young again, unbroken, and armed with the memories of her tragic future, she realizes heaven has granted her a second chance not for forgiveness, but for reckoning.
This time, she refuses to be a victim.
Determined to destroy those who turned her life into hell, Madam Liu begins weaving a careful web of revenge against her husband and the Liu family. Yet as she moves her pieces, she faces a dangerous truth: she has no allies she can trust. Everyone around her once betrayed her or stood by in silence.
Then she meets him.
A man whose identity is shrouded in mystery. A man she never encountered in her previous life. He appears at crucial moments, as if drawn by fate itself, his intentions unreadable, his power concealed. Their paths cross again and again sometimes as allies, sometimes as adversaries until their connection becomes impossible to ignore.
Is he a weapon sent to aid her revenge…
or another trap disguised as salvation?
As vengeance, desire, and secrets collide, Madam Liu must decide whether she can afford to trust her heart in a life already stained by betrayal. In a game where love and hatred blur, one question remains:
Will they become lovers bound by fate
or enemies destined to destroy each other?
