On the night Gao Qingluan was born, the sycamore trees in the backyard of Gao Mansion were in full bloom.
She is the eldest daughter of the Gao family. From the moment she landed, she was raised carefully as the future mistress of the family. She was proficient in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, housekeeping and accounting, and people's calculations. She was famous in the capital for her talent and beauty, her ability to advance and retreat, and her unparalleled elegance.
She knew in her heart that what she wanted was not vigorous love, but steady honor - the status of a head wife, the dignity of treating each other as guests, and the bright future she had paved for her children with her own hands.
Calmly looking at the situation in the back house, calmly cutting off all covetous thoughts. Because she has the confidence, ability, and means.
In this life, she took charge calmly and watched the storm with a smile. Not to fight, but to protect - to protect one's own status, to protect the future of their children, and to protect a family's century-old glory.
It's not that she has no heart, it's just that her heart can give and take back.
