Reflected in the Fading Blossoms

Jiang Xueluo, heir apparent consort of the Prince of Yan, was branded the daughter of a traitor three years ago after being framed in an unjust case. She only survived thanks to the Prince of Yan's protection. Grateful to them, she never expected to be abducted on her way to the temple to fulfill a vow. For three days, she endured inhuman torture, her throat poisoned and her body covered in whip marks. When she was dumped on the streets of the capital, the entire city spat insults at her, calling her unchaste. The Prince of Yan's household went so far as to accuse her of bringing shame upon the family. As she was dragged back to the manor and the Dowager Consort ordered her drowned in a pond, the imperial physician made a shocking discovery: she was pregnant. Who was the father? What happened during those three days in captivity? And who was the person in the darkness who shielded her from the whip and gave her water? When everyone was forcing her to die, she chose to live. She would stay alive until the truth came to light, and make everyone who had hurt her pay.
