CompletedIn her previous life, Gu Qianluo was manipulated by her stepmother into replacing her legitimate sister to marry the Second Prince for a propitious marriage to ward off illness.
She spared no effort to help the Second Prince get rid of the severe cold poison in his body, for which he promised her a life of glory and wealth. Ultimately, it was he who caused her death.
Meanwhile, her legitimate sister, Gu Qianxue, after marrying Chen Jinheng, the second son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, became consumed by jealousy and hatred in her quest for favor, turning the Marquis's residence into a restless household.
The Marquis and his wife disliked her, her husband loathed her, and the servants of the Marquis's estate disrespected her. In the end, Gu Qianxue died in melancholy.
In this life, Gu Qianxue was reborn prior to her and Gu Qianluo's marriages. To change the tragedy of her previous life, Gu Qianxue staged falling into water, was rescued by the Second Prince, and as desired, became his.
Gu Qianluo, after her rebirth, was contemplating how to cancel her engagement with the Second Prince when she discovered that her legitimate sister had already had a clandestine affair with him.
Everyone felt Gu Qianluo was getting a raw deal, but she smiled calmly and turned to marry the legitimate second son of the Marquis of Zhongyong in place of her legitimate sister.
Gu Qianxue thought her scheme had succeeded and often sneered inwardly, "Gu Qianluo, this life, it should be my turn to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world. You go and taste the feeling of being abandoned by everyone and neglected by your husband!"
However, three years later, Gu Qianxue not only failed to get her wish but was also banished to the cold palace by the new emperor.
As for Gu Qianluo, she ultimately became the cherished darling doted upon by everyone in the Marquis's household.
