Angst before payoff + palace and household intrigue + everyone faces a reckoning + fictional setting + eldest princess + no saintly heroine
Ning Qing was born a darling of heaven, but her wet nurse switched her with her own daughter, leaving Ning Qing to live like an animal for ten years.
She was found and brought home at ten, but by then, it seemed her adopted sister Ning Ying had already taken all her good fortune.
At fifteen, she was sent to the Xiongnu as a hostage, disguised as a man.
At eighteen, she was brought back to her homeland.
Her royal brother beat her, and her imperial parents despised her.
Many even mocked her, saying that returning alive was a disgrace!
Ning Qing refused to accept it!
Why should you enjoy the peace I bought for you, only to despise me afterward?
Ning Qing wanted nothing more to do with family or love.
But one day, the once-arrogant Crown Prince knelt right in front of her. “Qing'er, your brother was wrong! Please forgive me, won't you?”
The Empress wept herself unconscious in the Lanyue Palace, longing only to hear Ning Qing call her “Mother” one more time.
Even the emperor, who had always cared only for the royal family's reputation, filled several pages of a letter to Ning Qing with remorse.
Shen Yueze, who had personally caught Ning Qing when she ran away and sent her to the Xiongnu himself, held a bloodstained dagger and looked at her weakly, his face full of regret.
“Your Highness, does this ease the hatred in your heart? Can you forgive me this once?”
Forgive him?
Why should she forgive him?
All Ning Qing wanted in this life was for those who had wronged her to live forever in regret!
There are a lot of abuses, and it makes me heartbroken. The heroine is really pitiful. She was originally exchanged for ten years. When she came back, she was alienated by a scheming woman, which made her family misunderstood. She was sent to the Huns again. She has a manic brother Wang, Green Tea's adopted daughter, a father who only cares about face, an unsteady mother, and a younger brother who was instigated by Green Tea. Ning Qing is already isolated and helpless, and it takes time to grow up in order to fight back. Ning Qing, come on, become stronger as soon as possible, torture them to death, and never forgive them!
The one disadvantage of serialized books is that after a long time, you will forget the previous plot. (Although you can read it over and over again), you will no longer have the same enthusiasm as when you first read it, and you will not want to continue reading it.
