A rural university graduate in her late twenties, with nothing to show for her life, wakes up as Yao Lianxiang, the newborn daughter of an ancient shopkeeper.
She had once been cherished and pampered, but times changed. When she was a little over ten, bandits ravaged her hometown.
First, she was separated from her parents. Then she was sold from one place to another, until she became a servant in the Lou household in Jiangnan.
Her life was turned upside down...
After entering the household, she served Chen Dancui, who was staying there, with anxious diligence.
She hoped that someday her master would grant her permission to buy her freedom and return to the simple life of an ordinary person.
During a spring outing in the garden, her striking beauty caught the eye of Lou Guanpu, then a vice commander of the Changsha Guard, who wanted to take her as a concubine.
But Lianxiang, whose heart was set on freedom, had no interest in Lou Guanpu's power or wealth.
She only said, "I am but a lowly servant, a frail willow in the wind. I dare not sully your lordship's noble presence."
Lou Guanpu took her for a little maid who knew her place.
But Lianxiang quietly added, "I don't want to be a concubine."
Lou Guanpu was a favored son of heaven, always surrounded by admirers.
No one had ever slighted him like that. His handsome face instantly darkened, turning as cold as ice.
Later, after Lianxiang was framed and saw no way to escape, she happened to encounter Lou Guanpu and had no choice but to ask him for help.
Lou Guanpu watched her intently and smiled. "I've never failed to get what I set my sights on... You could sprout wings and still never escape my grasp."
(A flirtatious, domineering ancient-era hero x a clever, modern-minded heroine who loves boldly and hates just as fiercely)
A few things to know before reading:
1. This is a melodramatic story about a man forcing a woman into marriage. If that's your thing, you're welcome to read.
2. Readers who only want chaste romances should proceed with caution.
3. The early part is more plot-heavy, laying the groundwork for what comes later. The story is mainly told from the heroine's perspective, with some ensemble viewpoints.
Theme: Having the courage to leave at any time, rather than being confined by love
When will it be updated? I click on it every day and look forward to the updates [continued]
It's beautiful. My wife's writing is very good.
Haha, this conflict is fun, but looking at the progress, there is still a long way to go to catch up.
I hope Lianxiang is really just trying to coax Lou and not be tempted [picking her head]
\Let's invite writers who are both talented and well-written, shall we?
Madam, Kavin has been around for a long time, won't it be updated?
The core of the main plot is similar to that of Lanxiangyuan, with the emphasis on antique flavor.
I like it so much! Suddenly discovered the treasure 🐰🐰
It's so cool. I really like the frequency of updates.
Haha, Lianxiang's intention to hide was too obvious [crying with laughter]
