Lin Nian grew up in the Marquis's household, surrounded by every luxury. In a single night, she became the daughter of a country bumpkin and gambler.
All because the real heiress who had been sent back suffered terribly in the countryside. In a fit of rage, the mother who doted on Lin Nian sent her away to a place of exile, leaving her to fend for herself for six years.
By the time she was brought back to the Marquis's household, she was battered and broken.
Her beloved elder brother scolded her for being unreasonable and malicious, all because of Xiao Jiaojiao.
Her father and mother, who had always indulged her, no longer treated her as they once had. They kept saying that a father's debts should be paid by his daughter, and did everything they could to wring every last bit of value from her.
To pave the way for Xiao Jiaojiao, they forced her to marry Xie Huaian, a barely living invalid in a vegetative state.
Yet they had no idea that Xiao Jiaojiao, whom they all called kindhearted, was the mastermind behind it all.
Xiao Wanwan, reborn and back to settle the score, schemed her way into taking everything from Lin Nian!
Only after disaster struck the Marquis's household did Xiao Wanwan turn around and attach herself to someone more powerful.
Her parents, who had once taken her for granted, wept and pleaded, “Nian, we were wrong. We failed to see people for who they were. Won't you call us Mother and Father just one more time?”
Her elder brother, who had once spoken cruelly to her, came to beg forgiveness, bearing brambles on his back. “Nian, if you can forgive me, I'll do anything!”
Lin Nian gave a cold laugh. All the care and attachment she had ever felt for them had been worn away, little by little, every time they hurt her to protect Xiao Jiaojiao.
She turned and went back to Xie Huaian.
Now she had a family who truly cared for her, cherishing and protecting her when her reputation was in tatters.
They were willing to stand firmly behind her and help her become the most honored woman in the capital!
It looks good, the heroine must have a good ending, author/Come on! 👍
