Xia Tang was the adopted daughter of a marquis’s household.
She had been raised in luxury for sixteen years. Just two days after her coming-of-age ceremony, the true legitimate daughter of the marquis’s household returned to the capital by carriage.
The Marchioness, who had once treated Xia Tang with tenderness and care, turned on her overnight, demoting her to a servant and calling her a sparrow that could never fly to the treetops.
The Marquis, who had once taught her to read and observe proper etiquette, slapped her as soon as they met and forced her to kill herself to preserve her reputation.
The elder brother, who had once promised to pluck the stars and moon for her, kicked her in the knees without a trace of warmth. He grabbed her by the hair and told her that servants should kneel when they answer.
The delicate true heiress dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief, then sold Xia Tang to a military camp, condemning her to a miserable life of abuse until she died...
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day her nightmare began.
A very good book, worth reading.
The author's writing style is very good, and the characters in the book are so lifelike, full of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy that you feel as if you are experiencing it personally.
She's quite good at keeping hooks, and the heroine won't feel aggrieved all the time.
