Entering an ancient sweet novel, I became the cannon fodder with the worst fate in the book - Shen Zhiwan, the true daughter of the Yongning Marquis who had been living in the countryside for sixteen years.
The original owner lacked love since she was a child. After returning home, she humbled herself to please her parents and elder brothers. She always tolerated the fake daughter Shen Rou'er who took over her identity. She fully expected a trace of family warmth. However, in the end, she only ended up with a stigma attached to her, her status as a legitimate daughter was revoked, and she froze to death alone in a hospital in the cold winter. No one cared about her when she passed away.
When I opened my eyes again, I had already seen through the hypocrisy of the people in the world.
The seemingly gentle and kind-hearted stepsister is secretly full of scheming, setting up traps and frame-ups at every turn; her parents and brother have been partial to Shen Rou'er for sixteen years, and they always favor outsiders without distinguishing between right and wrong; the prince and male protagonist who the original owner has always been obsessed with has only Shen Rou'er in his eyes.
I will no longer fight for the family affection, preference, and engagement that she desperately longed for in the past.
Blindly giving in and giving in has led to an abyss. Now I watch the show with a cold eye and work step by step to protect myself.
Don't seek power, don't beg for tenderness, don't fall in love, and refuse internal friction and entanglement. I personally dismantled the disguise of White Lotus, tore apart the illusion of false harmony in the Hou Mansion, cut off the cheap relatives who kept consuming me, and got rid of the tragic fate that had already been written.
I spent the long cold night alone with no one to accompany me, holding an umbrella alone to survive the long dark night;
When the light of dawn falls, I will earn my own stability and freedom without relying on anyone else.
Purpose: There is no need to cling to family ties and preferences that do not belong to oneself. Women do not need to rely on family and love to realize their self-worth. By keeping their clear conscience and relying on self-salvation, they can break free from the prison of fate and find their own way forward.
