A Leaf Drifting Down the Road

Her father jumped to his death, her mother disappeared, and the once-privileged heiress became a stray everyone could bully overnight. During her five years in Lujia Town, Lu Xiyu was despised by the villagers, beaten and abused by her aunt, and bullied and humiliated by her classmates… The walls her parents had built with their wealth became the abyss that trapped her. Before leaving, her mother repeatedly warned her never to return to Yuncheng. But the villagers showed no gratitude, and she had nowhere left to turn. Her father’s bones were barely cold. How could she just look after herself? Even if Yuncheng was a den of dragons and tigers, she had nothing to lose. Why fear adding a few more scars? But what truly broke her heart and frightened her wasn’t the unknown danger or the wounds covering her body. It was the betrayal of old friends and the disloyalty of those close to her. Fang Yi, the older brother who had once promised to protect her for the rest of his life, had found a new little sister… Overnight, all her family’s businesses had been transferred into the names of the Luo family, the people she had trusted most… “Everything you have now, the house you live in and the piano you play, used to be mine. Did you know that?” The sealed rose lock was opened. Lu Xiyu pinned Luo Nan, the only son of the Luo family, against the door and told him coldly. But the refined young master, the object of everyone’s admiration, caught her wrist and pulled her into his arms, then asked gently, “Did you forget to count one more thing? Your fiancé, me, belongs to you too.”
