The day she knelt and begged the marquis’s household for a letter of divorce, no one imagined that ten years later, this woman would wield power over the empire.
Shen Ci’an opened her eyes to find herself lying on the ground, the back of her head slick with blood.
The original owner’s memories flooded in. The marquis’s legitimate daughter had been shoved down the stairs by her stepmother and stepsister, left with no one to collect her body or even ask after her.
A servant woman kicked her. “Why are you pretending to be dead?”
Shen Ci’an grabbed her foot and stood up.
She slapped the woman back, and the room fell silent.
When her stepmother sent someone to “visit,” she smiled and thanked her, clutching a scrap of silk the original owner had torn off before dying. It had come from her stepmother’s clothes.
She would not play the victim, accept her fate, or fight until she died.
In three months, she tore away her stepmother’s mask. In six, she uncovered the truth behind her birth mother’s death. A year later, she knelt before her father and said:
“Father, please remove my name from the family register. From now on, I’ll have nothing to do with the marquis’s household.”
The whole capital laughed at her. She was giving up her place as the marquis’s legitimate daughter to set up a street stall.
Later, her pastry shops spread across all thirteen provinces of Great Zhou. Her Shen brand was everywhere, from rouge shops and fabric stores to jewelry shops.
Later, the powerful official Huo Siyuan proposed to her in public, and the emperor decreed their marriage, sending a bridal procession stretching ten miles.
Later, she brought down princes, helped a young emperor rule, and served as regent for three years, winning the people’s hearts.
On the night of her hundredth birthday, she said to the person beside her in bed:
“I wasn’t born into this world.”
He was silent for a long while, then clasped her hand tightly.
“When I first met you, there was a blade in your eyes. No woman of this world looks like that.”
