Mother Disapproves, So I’ve Decided to Marry and Move Away

She was notorious in the capital as a wayward girl with no one to teach her right from wrong. When she was young, her mother abandoned her to pursue her own ambitions, taking her father and elder brother off to the battlefield and leaving her alone for seven years!

One romance after another unfolded, yet those who loved each other never found a happy ending.

When her mother returned, she remained distant and confused. Having lived in fear of loss since childhood, she was struck with a whipping that crushed her hopes of seeing her mother again. She swore she would one day escape this place where she had no ties to hold her back.

Beneath the lotus blossoms in a long corridor, she first saw the girl. She shone like starlight, with flowers blooming all around her. The lotus seemed to lose its color, making the girl seem even more like the one I longed for.
