Shangguan Ling is the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. When she was seven, her parents and two older brothers went off to fight on the frontier, leaving her alone at the marquis’s residence, where she was bullied by wicked servants. Luckily, the Empress Dowager rescued her and raised her in the palace. When she grew up, she fell in love with someone who happened to love her too. He proposed to her in front of everyone and promised she would be the only woman in his life, forever. Everyone said she was lucky to have the Empress Dowager backing her and Prince Chen as such a wonderful husband.
But then her parents and brothers returned. On their very first day home, instead of asking whether she was well, they berated her for ignoring the family’s teachings and shamelessly attaching herself to the royal family to climb the social ladder. Her mother even slapped her.
Shangguan Ling covered her cheek and looked at her mother, her eyes devoid of emotion. “I’ll take this slap as repayment for the debt of giving birth to me. From now on, we’re even.”
Later, the whole family learned how much she had suffered over the years. Her mother, especially, desperately wanted to make it up to her, but Shangguan Ling no longer cared...
