I am the unluckiest girl in Zhu'an County.
He falls while walking, and drinks water to stuff his teeth. The fortune teller said that I would be self-restrained and would not live to be eighteen. People in the village say that I am a bad guy and whoever gets involved will be unlucky.
Until I met that man by the river - when he was fishing, the fish jumped into the bucket. When he sat there, even the wind became gentle.
The old monk said that he was a man born with good fortune and was the only antidote for my survival.
That night, he put his late mother's jade pendant into my hand and said he would wait for me to come back.
I've been waiting for six years.
What awaited were rumors that he was the top scholar in high school, that he was in the cabinet, and that he was engaged to a princess. And I, with my belly full, was hunted down by my tribe and exiled in a foreign land.
Five years later, his son Fu Bao suddenly fell into a coma. The doctor said that the child's life was hanging by a thread unless his father was found.
I held the jade pendant that I had hidden close to my body for six years and looked in the direction of the capital.
Back then he said he would wait for me to come back.
Now, it's my turn to find him.
But he is already the chief minister of the dynasty, and his power is overwhelming. And I am just a down-and-out woman who makes a living doing laundry.
I thought he would dislike me.
But when he saw me for the first time, his eyes were red and he said: I have been looking for you for six years.
I thought the story ended here.
But the person who harmed me back then is right next to me.
When the knife was pressed against Fu Bao's chest, I said: I will give my life in exchange for the safety of their father and son.
He held my hand tightly, his eyes as red as blood:
Shen Tinglan, you dare to try.
Everyone in the capital said that my life was too hard to defeat my relatives, but he was the only one who said that he would defeat me for the rest of my life.
It turns out that destiny is a contract, not for me to defeat him, but for me to meet him.
