She was the illegitimate daughter of a military family. When her mother fell gravely ill, she knelt outside the General’s Mansion to beg for money.
Her father said, “You don’t deserve the Su surname.”
Madam Su held out the family whip. “If the sky doesn’t come crashing down, those beneath it won’t learn to fear.”
Three lashes tore her skin open. She still refused to kneel.
Later, she went to the Misty Rain Pavilion, earning her living by singing. But Qin Yuan noticed her for her medical skills.
Qin Yuan watched her from a third-floor window. “You’ll be paid for singing. Medical treatment is extra.”
She thought it was nothing more than a business arrangement.
Until war engulfed the land, and someone stood between her and the whole world.
“I waited two years for you to grow up. Not so I could hear you say that.”
An ancient-era version of Romance in the Rain, with heartbreaking romance, a new male lead, and a happy ending.
