Reborn as the Poisonous Heiress
Synopsis
In her previous life, she was Su Yun, a carving prodigy from a poor family.
She had extraordinary talent and worked tirelessly, mastering the art of woodcarving. In an industry dominated by men, she carved out a place for herself through sheer skill. The wealthy fought over her works, and she became famous throughout the region.
But she was too outstanding, so outstanding that the men who studied alongside her grew jealous.
They accused her of being immoral and claimed she had seduced her master to learn her craft. Unable to defend herself, she was expelled from her school and left disgraced. At the height of her despair, a poor young man appeared, treating her gently and telling her he believed her.
She believed him. She taught him to carve and helped him open a shop, using her own skill to make him the richest man in the city.
But the day he achieved success, he divorced her in front of everyone.
He said she was shameless, that she had slept with several men, and that the skills he had learned from her were stolen. The whole city believed him and threw rotten vegetables and stones at her.
She fell ill with grief and died in a ruined temple at the age of twenty-three.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become Shen Qingning, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister’s household.
She was treated like royalty and showered with affection. The people who once looked down on her were now unworthy even to carry her shoes.
She had planned to live this life in peace and forget the hatred she carried from her previous life.
But fate insisted on putting that man in front of her.
That day, she lifted the curtain of her carriage on the busiest street in the capital and saw a down-and-out young man by the roadside, selling crude wood carvings.
She would never forget that face, not even in death.
His name was Zhao Yuanqing, the man who had stepped over her corpse in her previous life
