[A gentle yet strong beauty VS a sickly, world-weary gentleman]
In her previous life, Su Qin died with a lifetime of regrets.
Given another chance, she awakens to the truth and wants only to protect her mother and her loyal maid, Xiu'er.
Su Qin is the marquis's legitimate daughter, yet also the most awkwardly placed child in the entire household. Her mother was once the principal wife, but was cast aside. Left alone with her mother, Su Qin has to read everyone's moods and survive in the cracks.
Su Qin once saw Prince Rui as her only salvation, a being as lofty as the heavens. In the end, he was the one who pushed her into an endless abyss. The seemingly gentle, tender, and elegant Prince Rui was the most heartless of men.
In Su Qin's memories, her mother was always as serene and refined as a chrysanthemum. Disappointed to the utmost by her father's coldness, she refused to yield. Yet on that one night, she knelt for hours in the courtyard, begging her father to bring her Qin'er home.
Men are all alike. In this life, she wants no promises of eternal devotion or vows of undying love. She only wishes safety for those who love her, and death for those who harm her.
The demon everyone called evil turned out to be her true salvation.
We are each other's beacon [Mutual salvation]
The author writes well, keep up the good work 🤭😏
Why didn't the author write anymore? It's obviously very well written 😢
I have read many stories about female protagonists who take revenge after being reborn, and most of them are helped by male nobles. Women in that era are so sad!
