Ye Lingxiao, daughter of the late Duke of Wei, was born with a noble name, an illustrious lineage, and everything a woman could possibly need to live a life of dignity. Yet she spent her entire life making herself smaller for the sake of others. After the deaths of her parents, Lingxiao was taken in by her maternal aunt and raised within the Chu family. Desperate to be loved and terrified of losing the only family she had left, she devoted herself to earning their affection. She endured every slight, surrendered every advantage, and constantly put the Chu family before herself. Most of all, she loved Chu Zhanfeng. Blinded by that love, she chased after him for years, believing that if she gave enough, sacrificed enough, and proved herself useful enough, he would eventually see her devotion. She used the influence and connections inherited from the Duke of Wei to open doors for the Chu family, secure opportunities for them, and elevate their status. She thought she was building a future with the man she loved. Instead, she was building the ladder they would use to climb over her. When the Chu family finally achieved everything they desired, Ye Lingxiao became nothing more than an inconvenience. Her usefulness had ended. Her family name had been exhausted. The affection she had desperately sought was revealed to have never truly existed. She was discarded. And she died with nothing but regret. But fate grants the dead what the living can never obtain-a second chance. And then there is Xie Yizhi. The mysterious nobleman whose name alone is enough to make powerful families cautious. To outsiders, Xie Yizhi is nothing more than a sickly young lord. He spends much of his time secluded from society, appears frail and incapable of enduring hardship, and is rumored to have a body too weak to live a long life.
