Lu Zhenzhen was the legitimate daughter of a powerful household, yet she lived worse than the servants. She had hoped to marry the man her mother had chosen for her before her death and escape her misery, but her half-sister coveted her fiancé and set a trap that cost Lu Zhenzhen her chastity. Driven to desperation, she tried to hang herself.
Reborn, she finally stopped holding back. Step by step, she made everyone who had bullied or framed her pay.
Just as life seemed to be going her way, she caught the eye of the all-powerful Governor of the Eastern Depot. He called off her engagement and forced her to become his wife in name.
Someone once asked Shen Zui, the Grand Director of the Directorate of Ceremonial, what he loved most.
Shen Zui replied, “I examine myself every day, and all I love is Zhenzhen.”
The story is engaging, the author's plot is tight, the writing is smooth, and the way the male and female leads interact is relaxed and enjoyable. However, their initial encounter isn't particularly profound, making the sudden development of their affections feel a bit abrupt. But that's alright, the plot is the main focus after all.
Overall, it's pretty good! I'm also very curious about how the male lead initially fell for the female lead...
