Reborn in the turbulent Republic of China era, Chu Qingyan—the once-believed-dead Duchess—opens her eyes with chilling clarity. Framed and poisoned in her past life by her husband and stepsister, she now holds a ledger of vengeance. She shatters her stepsister's facade, cripples her traitorous warlord husband's power, and accepts a dangerous alliance with enigmatic tycoon Lu Jiu: 'Partners. I'll need your docks to ship some... arsenic.' When the Duke presses a gun to her back at a gala, asking about her brutal methods, Qingyan twists the weapon toward him with a lethal smile: 'Still kinder than the tea *you* served me, darling.' As bullets fly, hunter becomes hunted in this deadly game of rebirth and retribution.
