[A legitimate daughter who is a strategist + a devoted general] [Household infighting] [Political intrigue] [A devoted couple] [Period romance]
Lin Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke Who Protects the Nation’s household, has been recuperating at Mount Yu because of her frail health.
One day, she receives a letter from home: her older brother, Lin Ye, has suddenly died.
Lin Wan hurries back to the capital, only to discover that the circumstances of her brother’s death are suspicious.
She stays in the capital to find out what really happened.
After uncovering the whole truth, she defies everyone’s objections and presents the evidence to the emperor. By exposing her family’s scandal herself, she shocks the entire court and ruins her reputation. No one in the capital dares marry her.
Everyone around her says a woman’s reputation is precious and that what she did wasn’t worth it.
But she has no regrets.
With her brother’s case solved, she plans to spend the rest of her life alone. Then Xie Xiao, her brother’s former friend, steps forward and asks for her hand in marriage.
No one can understand this match.
Lin Wan enters the Marquis of Pingxi’s household in a grand bridal procession, thinking everything has finally settled down. But once again, the capital is thrown into turmoil…
(Lin Wan has always believed Xie Xiao married her only to fulfill his promise to her brother. She doesn’t know that Xie Xiao has admired her for many years, and marrying her has been his dearest wish.)
Lin Wan: “General Xie, thank you for coming to my aid.”
Xie Xiao: “Wanwan, marrying you has been my dream for years.”
P.S. This is the story of a brilliant woman in ancient times making her mark in both the household and the imperial court.
This book is worth reading. It not only writes about the evils of human nature, but also the true nature of servants, and the value of blood and family ties. It is not very long, but it explains all kinds of relationships clearly, and the ending is still very cute.
It's not bad, you can take a look, but a few characters are mentioned but not explained, such as the Xie family's cousin. But the ending should be happy
The ending was so rushed, but it was pretty good
It's very interesting. I like the heroine's revenge for her brother.
