She Came from the Ashes

[A World-Weary God and the Warmth of Ordinary Life]

She is the most failed “creation” of Asia’s richest family, a good-for-nothing heiress with depression and no attachment to the world.

Even when she tries to end her life, she is afraid people will mock her after death, so she disguises it as an accident. Then she becomes Shen Shumo, a woman with the same name in Republican-era Pingzhou City, likewise dismissed as a beautiful good-for-nothing and freshly jilted in public by the cold young marshal Huo Yichuan.

Faced with a new life, all she wants is to give up and do nothing.

Her family fusses over her, and she remains indifferent. Huo Yichuan sneers at her, and she ignores him. The whole city laughs at her, and she only finds it noisy.

She thinks that changing worlds just means waiting to die somewhere else.

Until the man who once trampled her dignity kneels before her with bloodshot eyes, pleading in a hoarse voice:

“Shumo… please, look at me.”

Only then does she lazily lift her eyelids, as though looking at a joke that has nothing to do with her.

She once drowned in the wealth of a top family, but walked on coldly as a towering inferno blazed in the heart of a young marshal from the Republican era.

[Key Highlights]

A world-weary heroine: A depressed heiress from a top family, indifferent to everything, who attempts suicide from the start.

An extreme groveling pursuit: The cold young marshal goes from loathing her to begging for her love, suffering emotionally and physically.

Attraction through indifference: The less the heroine cares, the more obsessed the hero becomes. The sexual tension is off the charts.

A story of redemption: Someone who wants no salvation ultimately becomes the only salvation another person has.
