Song Zhaoning was abandoned in a poor convent for nine whole years.
She braved a torrential downpour to return home, only to find herself in a carriage that had been tampered with.
By sheer luck, she escaped without a scratch and stood before the gates of the home she had left nine years ago.
Inside the red-lacquered gates, her mother was preparing sliced fish for her younger brother and tossed her a few coins as if she were a beggar.
Her younger brother shouted that she was a “jinx” who deserved to die.
Her father treated her as a stepping stone to a promising official career...
Everyone assumed she had returned to demand justice and win back her parents’ affection.
But Song Zhaoning wanted power, and the right to take control of her own life.
She wanted neither her parents’ love nor her relatives’ protection. She would rise to the top as a woman, climb to the highest halls, and earn the rank of marquis or minister!
