On the day she died in the delivery room, Gu Ying couldn’t understand why the man who had once protected her with his life, the face she loved so deeply, now wanted her dead.
When she opened her eyes again, Gu Ying had become Su Ying, the daughter of a small merchant in Yangzhou, transmigrated ten years into the future.
The debts of blood from her past life are etched into her bones, yet she doesn’t even have the right to seek revenge. How could a merchant’s daughter set foot in the residence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard’s commander?
Let it go. Live your life again, Su Ying tells herself.
But through a twist of fate, she becomes a substitute bride in a marriage meant to bring good fortune, and the eldest madam of the Jiang family, Yangzhou’s wealthiest salt merchants.
Jiang Su is frail, but a gentleman. Their marriage is a three-year contract, and they live in separate rooms. Su Ying thinks this is how her life will be.
Until an imperial commissioner takes up residence in the Jiang home.
Seeing that face again, Su Ying flies into a rage.
But he isn’t the man she remembers.
Lu Chongze, her former husband’s twin brother, is the powerful chief eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs.
He has exactly the same face as her former husband, and even their voices are identical.
Just as Su Ying is overcome with confusion, Lu Gu takes all her attention.
Those familiar features belong to her son, the child she carried for ten months and thought she had failed to deliver.
Her peaceful life is shattered. The secrets of that year are gradually laid bare.
In the marriage that went wrong all those years ago lie someone’s debt, someone’s arrival one step too late, and someone who spent ten years waiting for an answer.
Rare article. The historical details are very fastidious and well founded. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, title and grade are all meticulous. Even during the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, the weather was extremely cold. The plot has twists and turns and is bizarre, but it is not out of control. It writes about the various emotions of the world and is also reasonable and interesting. The male protagonist is the eunuch Bingbi, and I am very curious about how it will develop next.
When Su Ying and Lu Chongze get together, and when Su Ying avenges her previous life, she will change her rating to five stars. The more I watch, the less interesting it becomes: the plot has no focus, and it's just a hammer here and there; secondly, why didn't the ex-husband keep both children by his side, and didn't tell the heroine that both children were alive? Mingchuan was so pitiful; and finally, the ex-husband loved the heroine so much, why didn't he avenge her? If you don't risk your brother's life, you can just maim him. Instead, your scumbag ex-husband got promoted and made a fortune.
It's so beautiful. I picked it up from the previous book. The writing has become even more sophisticated. It's being serialized. I'm a little anxious waiting for the update.
The light narration and rich details make me follow the updates every day.
The things described in the book are bizarre, but quite interesting, especially the dispute between the two twin children is very real.
Oh my god, it's finally time to recognize each other, the story is so fascinating
Okay, okay, the characters are unique, the plot is warm and interesting, the pace needs to be accelerated.
The writing style is delicate, the traditional culture is very accomplished, and the foreshadowing is logical, not bad
This book is so well written
Is the male protagonist a eunuch?
