Proud, lonely wolf vs. delicate, tearful begonia
In her previous life, Quan Jing was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household, recuperating away from home.
At long last, her health began to improve, and her family brought her home. She should have enjoyed a life of wealth and luxury in the prosperous capital. But her younger cousin listened to rumors and fell for the wrong man, bringing about the deaths of Quan Jing and her parents and elder brother, and the execution of the entire Marquis's household.
She never knew that a cold, proud young general avenged her and buried her broken body in his arms.
Years later, he was buried beside her in a grave surrounded by begonias.
She returned to the day her parents and elder brother brought her home.
This time, she refused to believe in fate and vowed to change her destiny. She would help her innocent, kindhearted cousin see through the scumbag and the scheming green tea. She would see all the sights she had missed in her previous life, and finally experience the love she'd longed for, holding hands and growing old together.
Then she met an extraordinarily handsome man in the black market. Like a leopard lurking in the dark, his black eyes were full of murderous intent. She bought him. He would protect her, and she would give him his freedom and treat his wounds.
She never expected this man to be the son of the great general so beloved by the people.
“Jing'er, do you know how long this begonia of yours has been tempting this wolf?”
Awesome, push push push! It's really worth reading, go for it, babies!
