In a regretful twist for the supporting character Sheng Molan from The Story of Minglan, she is reborn and given a chance to turn her life upside down! This time, she will no longer be a wisteria clinging to a high branch. Instead, she will choose a completely different path to redemption.
In her previous life, she schemed and struggled, using every means at her disposal to marry into the Earl's household, only to meet a tragic end. She died full of regret in a cold, secluded courtyard in the Liang household. When she opened her eyes again, she was twelve years old, and none of the tragedies had yet come to pass.
Reborn, Sheng Molan has a weathered yet clear-eyed heart. She knows that wealth and glory are illusions, and that true security comes from within. This time, she tempers her sharpness and conceals her schemes, devoting herself to her studies at the family school and keeping to her place at home. All she wants is to be a dignified, well-mannered daughter of the Sheng family.
Yet fate still sends trials her way. At a flower-viewing party hosted by the Earl of Yongchang's household, Liang Han approaches her just as he did before. Faced with the same eager hopes from her birth mother, Lin Qinshuang, Molan does something astonishing: she turns away coldly and avoids him at all costs.
Her transformation draws her grandmother's scrutinizing gaze, earns her eldest legitimate brother's unexpected approval, and leaves her sixth younger sister Minglan, who is exceptionally perceptive, deeply puzzled. What wears Molan down even more is that her mother, whose fate is so closely bound to hers, cannot understand her choices at all. Their conflicting beliefs churn beneath the surface like an undercurrent.
This time, Sheng Molan seeks neither great wealth nor high status. She only hopes to keep her birth mother safe and secure a future she can face with a clear conscience. But in this deep household, where turmoil simmers beneath the surface, her path to atonement is bound to be full of thorns and unforeseen turns.
See how Molan, having shed her stubbornness, turns the tide through small choices and gradually finds a peaceful life of her own amid the warmth and household intrigues of everyday life.
The author should pay attention to the details. The writing is very good and don't let flaws ruin it, especially the fourth sister and the fifth sister.
