Adding Heart to Brocade

During the ten years she lived as a guest in the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, Jiang Jinrong never forgot that she was a “jinx.” All she wanted was to live peacefully in the Pei household, and when she found a suitable place to settle, Jiang Jinrong made her move without hesitation.

The gentle Second Young Master gave her a cold look for the first time. “You actually think he could be the one for you?”

The usually overbearing Third Young Master pinned her against the wall, his eyes bloodshot. “Jiang Jinrong, just try falling for someone else!”

The Eldest Young Master, home from the army, clasped her hand in front of everyone. “Stay in the Pei household. I’ll protect you for the rest of your life.”

Even the household’s most incorrigible young master leaned closer with a smile. “Trying to run now? Too late.”

But they didn’t know that she had already seen the letters in the study about dividing up the Jiang family’s estate, and had uncovered the truth behind her aunt’s death.

Behind every kindness in this grand and lavish household might lie a scheme. She could not stay any longer.

When everything was finally settled, that man pressed the tip of his sword against her bright red wedding dress and asked in a hoarse voice, “You said your life was mine... Now, who are you giving it to?”

The day Pei Ming, the Duke’s eldest son, returned victorious, Jiang Jinrong’s peaceful days came to an end.

It all began with the gold filigree and ruby hairpin he gave her, a hairpin that should never have existed.
