The moment my fingertips touched the cup of tea, the memory tightened around my heart like poison ivy.
——It's that cup of tea. In my previous life, it was this cup of "warm-up tea" handed to me by my "good sister" Lin Wan'er that made me itchy all over at the Hua Chao banquet that followed, causing me to lose my composure and fall into the mud. This solidified my reputation as "vulgar" and made Mrs. Shen completely dislike me.
And a year later, Lin Wan'er nestled in the arms of my former fiancé, King Chu, and poured another glass of poisonous wine into my throat with a sweet smile. The last scene of my family being overthrown and me dying with hatred was of Shen Hanyuan holding my gradually cold body, with the world-destroying madness and despair surging in his usually calm eyes.
That was Shen Hanyuan that I had never seen before.
