The Phoenix Perching on the Wu Tree

Plot Synopsis

Gu Mengyao was originally the daughter of Gu Yunyin, the Right Prime Minister of the current dynasty. She was spoiled since childhood, but she blindly fell in love with Lin Yi, the Fourth Prince. Lin Yi promised Gu Mengyao that if she helped him ascend the throne, he would marry her. Gu Mengyao believed it to be true, but after successfully helping Lin Yi ascend the throne, she was betrayed by Lin Yi, and the Gu family was wiped out overnight. When she opened her eyes again, Gu Mengyao had returned to the time before Lin Yi ascended the throne. Having been reborn, Gu Mengyao had already seen through the hypocritical faces of Lin Yi and Ke Yuening. Therefore, she took the initiative to withdraw all her help to Lin Yi and chose to invest her resources in Lin Langtian, the Eighth Prince who had always been in love with her in her previous life.
