She had to die once before she could clearly see all the people and ghosts in this house.
Lin Zhaoning opened his eyes and found that he was fifteen years old again - a few days before he was drugged and framed by his concubine.
In her previous life, that cup of tea ruined her reputation. She was carried out of the house in a small sedan chair, married into a poor family, and was tortured to death three years later. Before she died, she knew that what her concubine Lin Zhaowan wanted was not her life, but the unparalleled dowry she left behind - the 100,000 yuan that her maternal grandfather's family, who was a merchant, had saved for her mother. And the high branch she longed to cling to was none other than Shen Yanqing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
In this life, Lin Zhaoning was neither noisy nor fussy, nor was he in a hurry to expose the truth. She just gently caught the cup of tea and quietly turned it over in her palm before the concubine's carefully woven web closed.
The first thing she did was to pull her mother up from the futon in the Buddhist hall. The woman who had been kneeling for fifteen years was once the daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, but her back was bent by the shackles of "business women are not worthy of being in officialdom". Lin Zhaoning wants her to stand up again - not to win favor, but to take back everything that belongs to her.
She is not alone in this chess game. A young master who was casually rescued at a palace banquet many years ago is now the powerful Shen Yanqing. He walked from the dark to the light and handed her a knife without hesitation - not to kill for her, but to teach her how to hold the knife.
She wanted her mother to learn to laugh again. The father who spoiled his concubines and killed his wives should be made to watch his concubine fetching water from the bamboo basket he held in his hand. In the "marriage exchange" drama carefully planned by the concubine, she will be replaced in the end.
Reader comments
A good book has a unique style. It tells one thing slowly, making people calm down, seeing clearly the ugliness and human nature of people, and absorbing something from it. It teaches you that people must be strong in order to stand in the world. Good book.
Pure rebirth, not time travel. It's quite in line with the character description of the heroine's era. Mainly in essence. In his previous life, he only lived for three more years.
