Miss Ye Clara, seventh daughter of a decaying Qing dynasty household, is Shanghai's most proper young lady — composed, elegant, and utterly untouchable. But beneath the poise lies something far more dangerous: a woman forged by years of feudal oppression, sharp-tongued, fearless, and furious. When her family plots to send her as a stand-in for her sister — a gift to a brutal inspector known for cruelty against women — she strikes first. She seduces Du Falcon, the powerful Northern Warlord, and makes him her instrument of destruction. One calculated move at a time, she dismantles the corrupt Ye family from the inside out. She thought this was just a game of ambition dressed up as romance. She never expected: she set the trap, and he walked in on purpose.
