Song Chiying was the most illustrious young lady in the capital.
Her father was the Duke of Dingguo, her mother was the Grand Princess Huayang, and the emperor was her maternal uncle.
But on her sixteenth birthday, she learned that she was not the princess’s biological daughter. She was merely the child of a country farmer, while the true young lady, Zheng Ruoqing, had suffered in the countryside for more than a decade.
Overnight, Song Chiying’s world was turned upside down.
Her father, who had always doted on her; her mother, who had cherished her; and her elder brother, who had treated her like a treasure, all took Zheng Ruoqing’s side.
Even her taciturn, cold childhood friend treated Zheng Ruoqing gently.
She couldn’t believe that more than a decade of affection could mean so little.
She spent her days questioning everyone and searching for the truth about what had happened, only to become the vicious culprit accused of persecuting Zheng Ruoqing.
To avenge Zheng Ruoqing, her mother, the Grand Princess, had her sent to the palace service quarters as a slave for five years.
One day, five years later, the Grand Princess suddenly remembered Song Chiying, who was suffering in the palace service quarters, and ordered someone to bring her out.
Once freed, Song Chiying stayed true to herself. She finally escaped her status as a slave, cleared her name, and uncovered the truth.
To her surprise, the woman who had once been the Grand Princess, her brother the heir, and her cold childhood friend all came to beg her forgiveness.
She never forgave those who had hurt her. Besides, she now had someone she truly loved.
Xiao Jing curled his lips. “I told you ages ago that Pei wasn’t right for you. I am.”
