The five daughters of the Lin family's main branch met with utterly tragic fates.
The eldest was falsely accused of adultery and drowned in a pond.
The second endured endless torment, then withered away in madness.
The third fell into a den of wolves and hanged herself.
The fourth, who was betrothed, and the young fifth daughter were sent to the entertainment bureau.
When she opened her eyes again, the Lin family's third daughter had been reborn.
She seized the family businesses, claimed the title, protected the main branch, secured an honorary title for her mother, stood behind her eldest sister to give her courage, helped her second sister reject a disastrous match, and found a good husband for her fourth sister...
She led the way through every trial. Anyone who stood in her path would be killed, be they human or demon. Lin Shaohua cast everything aside and went completely berserk.
Gu Nanling, the eldest legitimate son of the Marquis of Changxin, commander of the Flying Feather Guard, and a trusted confidant of the emperor.
Everyone said Commander Gu was ruthless, a cold-faced grim reaper who could devour a person without leaving a trace.
Lin Shaohua: “Gu Nanling, you and I can be strangers in public, and husband and wife in private. That's the most we can be.”
Gu Nanling: “Then what are we supposed to do about the child you're carrying?”
Everyone said that the third Lin daughter was spoiled, domineering, and impossible to tame. The eligible men of good families in the capital never dared to come ask for her hand.
Gu Nanling: “Very well. If everyone else fears you, then I can only sacrifice my flesh and blood and let you do as you please, even if it means eternal damnation.”
Lin Shaohua: “There's no need to go that far.”
Gu Nanling: “All right, then. My manor is overrun with demons. I'd like to ask you, Buddha, to come and slay a few.”
