Lu Qingdai had lived as the pampered young lady of the Lu family for eighteen years, only to discover at her coming-of-age ceremony that she was not their biological daughter.
The Lu parents loved her and did not drive her away. Instead, they let her stay. She had thought she would marry her fiancé, Gu Liting, and leave the Lu family, but she never expected that the biological daughter also liked Gu Liting and had drugged him. She was the one who caught them in the act.
The biological daughter turned the accusation against her. Lu Qingdai tried to explain, but no one was willing to believe her.
Gu Liting even sent her to a reform school!
Electric shocks, hair-pulling, beatings.
Three years of reform shattered every last bit of pride she had. When she finally got out, all she wanted was to avoid the Lu family and Gu Liting and live a quiet, cautious life of her own.
But someone refused to let that happen. He personally protected and cherished her, nurturing her from a frightened bird into a phoenix reborn from the flames!
