One day, Salt Commissioner Lin Ruhai suddenly woke up and realized that his beloved wife’s early death had a hidden cause! If he died of illness, his orphaned daughter, Daiyu, would be drained dry by the Jia household and weep herself to death!
“To hell with that fated bond between the stone and the flower! My daughter, Lin Ruhai’s daughter, will never set foot in that filthy den of wolves, the Jia household!”
On his deathbed, Lin Ruhai entrusted six-year-old Daiyu, along with the Lin family’s two million taels of silver, to his sworn brother, the fearsome Yongning Marquis Huo Lingyuan, who commanded a powerful army and held immense influence at court!
That year, Huo Lingyuan was twenty-four, cold-blooded and brutal, a man whose name inspired terror. Lin Daiyu was six, delicate as jade and snow, timid and without anyone to rely on.
At the Yangzhou docks, Jia Lian was enjoying himself with a courtesan, while the Jia household’s vicious servants threw their weight around and tried to seize the Lin family’s fortune.
The next moment, three thousand armored soldiers thundered onto the scene!
The six-foot-two battle-hardened marquis scooped up the delicate Miss Lin with one arm and kicked Jia Lian to the ground. “What does the Jia family amount to? How dare you set your sights on my precious girl?”
Jia Baoyu went mad and smashed his jade? Huo Lingyuan sneered. “A worthless stone dares frighten my little darling? Smash it to powder and feed it to the dogs!”
Lady Wang spread rumors and smeared their names? Huo Lingyuan marched in with his troops, searched the Jia household, and laid the damning evidence of their illegal lending before the court!
At first, Huo Lingyuan only meant to raise his old friend’s daughter.
But as he raised her, and watched the once little girl grow into a stunning beauty, the iron-blooded marquis’s eyes turned red. He pinned her against the wall and said hoarsely, “Jiaojiao, be good and call me husband.”
Hey, Lin Ruhai had such a meticulous plan in the original novel. Will Sister Lin's ending be different?
Super pretty, so cool
A very nice book
Not bad, more logical, very fond of Lin Daiyu
