After her rebirth, she was no longer the concubine of the Hou family who allowed others to bully her.
In the last life, Shen Ciyuan was killed by her aunt and concubine. Before she died, she found out that she was an orphan from the previous dynasty - her mother held a legacy that could overthrow the court, and the real emperor was living in the south of the Yangtze River. Reborn back to the age of fifteen, she vows to protect her loyal servant Yun Gu and find out the truth behind her mother's death.
But she soon discovered that she was not the only one acting in the Hou Mansion. The eldest son Xiao Heng, who has been "sick" all year round, is actually the hidden leader of the secret guards, and is also investigating the cause of death of his adoptive father, the regent.
Two people with blood feuds went from testing each other to standing side by side. When they uncovered the mystery of their own lives, they actually involved the shocking conspiracy of the father-in-law to usurp the throne - the powerful father-in-law was plotting to launch a mutiny and change the dynasty.
A concubine plots the world and determines the world from both sides. In this life, she will no longer give in.
Reader comments
When writing this book, I often thought of a question: What is true strength?
Shen Ciyuan gave me the answer. The real strength is not the pleasure of going on a killing spree after being reborn, but choosing to still believe after experiencing a hellish previous life - believe in Yun Gu's sincerity, believe in Xiao Heng's promise, and believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
Xiao Heng taught me another thing: the deepest tenderness is often hidden under the coldest appearance. He would look at the moon on the roof, because that was the only free moment in the secret guard camp; he would remember that the tea made by Shen Ciyuan was "all delicious", even though her tea was mediocre; he would say "I will always be with you from now on", and then fulfill every word with actions.
There are also Zhou Fuling and Xie Wuji. A talkative foodie and a venomous person made me believe that the best love is not grand, but "the Poria cake you made is sweet" and "the tea is still hot when you are back".
Put yourself into each character, cry with them, laugh with them, and live a real life with them in that fictional world.
Thank you to every reader, it is you who make these characters live longer and go further.
——This book is dedicated to all those who still believe in light in the darkness.
When writing this book, I often thought of a saying: The deepest tenderness in the world is often hidden under the coldest appearance.
Shen Ciyuan returned from rebirth, taking care of herself step by step without losing her true heart; Xiao Heng licked blood from his knife and was ruthless, but left all his softness to her. There is also Yun Gu's nagging, Chun Xing's gluttony, Xie Wuji's cold face and warm heart, Liu Xufei's pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger - these people have accompanied me through more than a year of creative time.
A reader asked me: What moved you most in this book?
I thought about it and answered: It was what Shen Ciyuan said to Yun Gu, "I will protect you from now on." He is a person who never lives for himself, and finally begins to learn to love, trust, and expect.
This is not a simple revenge story, but a story about "living" - living, then loving, protecting and believing.
I hope everyone who reads it can find their own light in the darkness.
