She lost her mother at two, was abandoned at four, and wandered the streets, nearly freezing to death beside the highway. Fortunately, the Shen family, the richest in Luozhou, rescued her, and she became Shen Ayu, a merchant’s daughter. When she came of age at fifteen, the Shen family held a grand banquet in her honor, envied by every young noblewoman in the city. Yet all she could remember was the Lantern Festival night when her stepmother abandoned her at four. Her stepmother’s hypocritical facade, the rumors spreading through the capital, the poisoning trap at the eldest princess’s chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, and the insidious poison in the marquis’s residence all sought to kill her. The only one who stood by her was the young general who had watched over her at the city gate for three years.
From orphan to heiress of the richest family, from merchant’s daughter to legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household, she proceeded with care, sweeping aside layer after layer of deception and unearthing the crimes buried by time, one by one. At last, when the final piece fell into place, her stepmother’s true face was exposed.
Very informative. Before returning home, the heroine calmly fought two moves with her stepmother and won them all without alerting the enemy. All the stepmother's little plans after returning home are within the heroine's plans. Climb up to the princess, the queen acts as a guarantee, restore the identity, find out the cause of mother's death, find out the cause of father's illness, expose the stepmother... A lot of content is condensed into 110,000 words, and there is no moisture at all. (I have only one small question. In the novel, the Hou Mansion is considered a very prestigious and wealthy family in the capital. Why can Mr. Hou marry a maid as his second wife? Even with the request of the former mistress, the maid cannot become the mistress. She is not a small family.)
I like to read this kind of revenge novel. It is slow and steady, not repetitive, not repetitive, and does not have too many unnecessary psychological descriptions. Each paragraph is just right, making people can't help but keep reading.
Recommended, every character arrangement is in place, not artificial or magical👍🏻
I can't say what's good about it, but I feel very comfortable watching it.
Compact, doesn't drag down, worth a look
Good-looking, short and concise, not procrastinating. I feel that the hostess is really kind and simple. She carried Qiu He to her aunt and promised her the position of equal wife, but failed to leave any ending to her own life. It is sad and lamentable.
I think it's quite good. I don't know why the rating is so low. The idea is very clear and the content of the novel is also very rich. I support the author!!!
The storyline is quite attractive, the characters are vivid and stand out, and it's beautiful!
Looks good, the plot is good
It looks good and the writing is good
