In her previous life, Lin Shizi was the cherished daughter of the Marquis’s household, doted on by her five older brothers. To repay her family, she quietly used her own fortune to support the declining Yong'an Marquis’s estate.
Then one day, the real daughter returned, and Lin Shizi discovered she wasn’t their biological child after all.
Fortunately, the marquis’s family didn’t cast her out, and she hoped to get along peacefully with the true daughter, Lin Shiyu.
But Lin Shiyu had sinister intentions. She left behind a suicide note and a cold corpse. Every word of the note spoke of her longing for her parents’ and brothers’ affection, and of the misery she had suffered at Lin Shizi’s hands.
Lin Shizi tried to explain, but everyone in the household only pretended to believe her. They continued treating her as before, so guilt-ridden that she spent even more of her own fortune ensuring her family’s bright future.
Her eldest brother, Lin Shijing, became prime minister. Her second brother, Lin Shi'an, became a great general who defended the nation. Her third brother, Lin Shizong, became the richest man in the land. Her fourth brother, Lin Shiyuan, became head of the Imperial Medical Academy. Her fifth brother, Lin Shiye, inherited the marquis’s title and married a commandery princess.
All five brothers of the marquis’s household rose to prominence, and everyone in the capital envied them.
At Lin Shi'an’s victory banquet, Lin Shijing handed Lin Shizi a cup of poisoned wine. Only when she was writhing in unbearable pain did he reveal how he truly felt.
They regretted not driving Lin Shizi out. They regretted treating the two girls equally, which had led to their real sister’s tragic death.
After Lin Shiyu died, they had plotted to make Lin Shizi’s life worse than death. They had chosen the day of the victory banquet so she would never enjoy the glory they had brought their family!
The five brothers were even going to have Lin Shizi executed by a thousand cuts, but with the last of her strength, she seized a treasured sword and sent them all to their deaths.
As she lay dying, she used the last of her fortune to trade for a chance to live again.
This time, she chose to cut ties with the marquis’s household once and for all. Yet now they were on their knees, begging her to forgive them!
Forgive you? The me of today is far beyond your reach!
The mistress Voldemort is so disgusting and disturbing to watch.
There are a lot of weird things, and the hostess can't carry them clearly. I want her to get off the line early to get the lunch box. 🤦
