Xu Yizheng has lived like a weed in both her lives.
In her previous life, she was an orphan whose parents were unknown. After working her way toward a bright future, she inexplicably transmigrated into Wanshui Qing, a household slave in the Shen family who had lost both her parents.
In this unfamiliar place, she is a solitary girl said to be “born under an unlucky star.” Adrift like duckweed, with a life as fleeting as a willow seed, she is at the mercy of the powerful within the grand household. Thanks to a Taoist priest’s absurd reasoning, she becomes a concubine-in-waiting to bring good fortune to the Second Master.
She bows her head and gives thanks, adopting the most humble of airs. She must endure. She must survive. She must keep her life so she can find her way home.
She is adept at adapting to circumstances and playing along, hiding her true self behind layer upon layer of pretense. She thinks she can get through this period safely until she finds a way to leave.
That is, until Shen Yunze, the eldest son of the Shen family, who usually lives in the capital, returns to the estate for a short stay.
He is a young man who has risen to prominence, with power and influence to spare, and a rare, handsome face. A man like him ought to be as immaculate as jade trees in a forest.
Yet his gaze settles on his younger brother’s concubine-in-waiting, his eyes darkening like a cold pool stirred by the tide.
||||
Shen Yunze often thinks that the concubine-in-waiting he snatched from his younger brother is a delightful woman who knows how to go with the flow.
Just days ago, she was resolute and ready to die. Now she’s tender and shy, speaking softly and sweetly. With that pretty face, she thanks him for his favor one moment, then says she doesn’t dare presume on his kindness the next.
With rare time on his hands, Shen Yunze sits and watches her eyes ripple with emotion as she kneels before him, pleading without getting up.
“Born under an unlucky star?” He’s delighted. “Then we’re meant for each other. A hard life suits me just fine.”
“Lowly status?” He understands perfectly. “No matter. Proper young ladies don’t become concubines-in-waiting.”
“Delicate constitution?” He’s full of sympathy. “Poor thing. I’ll make sure you’re well cared for from now on.”
As the days pass, the more he watches her act, the more interested he becomes. It isn’t until Wanshui Qing lays plans to escape again and again that he realizes nothing she has ever done or said was sincere.
Arbitrary, arrogant, and ruthless, he watches Wanshui Qing happily help people write legal petitions while keeping out of sight. He resolves to break her pride and crush her delusions.
He never expected his Qing to hate him so much.
Wanshui Qing strikes with her knife, leaves him a few words, and never looks back.
On restless nights, Shen Yunze turns her words over and over in his mind. At last, he remembers.
She said, “You can’t catch the wind or trap its shadow; water will always find a way to flow.”
Theme: Stand on your own, take every step yourself, and a vast world will eventually open up before you
Finally, we have come to the breaking point of the core conflict of robbery that has remained unchanged for thousands of years: people always feel that they can have three wives and six concubines. Even if they are not so carefree, it is impossible for the real wife to give alms to the heroine [Three Flower Cat Head]. And the heroine's reaction every time in this book is very exciting and refreshing. Last time, the ex of Yin Yang Family wanted to rape her but was deleted. This time, he gave concubines lewdly and manually, making him vomit. Physiological and psychological double vomiting [Dog Head] I also thought about the psychological behavior of the female protagonist at the end of the last chapter, which started to be a bit complicated for Shen Gou. The male protagonist was also secretly happy while chasing and being scolded. The female protagonist is very prickly, and the male protagonist even likes to be pricked. The writing is very exciting without losing the richness of the emotional level. When you go to bed at night, won't you be so comfortable that you can't sleep because of your writing?
I think the male protagonist is quite interesting. Among all the romantic dad-type male protagonists, he actually takes the route of keeping himself clean.
The update of the baby is really stable. Kua Kua Kua [A dog's head holding a rose] The male protagonist's character is really in line with his status. He is very intelligent and almost demonic, cunning and treacherous. He is really sharp-tongued in interrogating prisoners. He likes to fight with Zhengzheng every day, but he is still a little m. The heroine feels uncomfortable if he doesn't scold him. He says he is trying to show off to the master. After scolding him, she also calls him a stubborn person [rolls eyes]. This article reminds me of the foreshadowing of the copywriting. The heroine writes a lawsuit after she escapes. Hahaha, I look forward to the magical confrontation between the two. The ancient vice president of the Supreme Court who opposes the "litigious customs" of Chao Gang and the modern law student who helps ordinary people safeguard their rights and popularize judicial knowledge. Dual confrontation in the workplace and love field [loving eyes] [covering face and peeking] [covering face and peeking]
The male protagonist has fallen in love one-sidedly
Wow, it's so early to update! After scrolling through the comments, I realized that the teacher went through all the trouble in order to update the article earlier🥹Thank you for your hard work, teacher. I'm giving you a shoulder rub, but you still need to take a lot of rest~
Can the heroine start running away for real? Fuck him!
Madam, you really write very well. I feel very good after eating delicious rice this week.
I have to work overtime at the moment [crying] [crying] I will pick a non-update day during National Day to make up for the article I owe you. (I whispered that writing a novel is really the most tiring thing I have ever done. I am so tired that many people have asked me why my voice has become hoarse, but this is the first time I am writing a novel seriously!! No matter what, I will keep it. It will be completed with quality and quantity, please rest assured! ! Please also explain that the update date is sometimes late, one is because I am too busy recently, and the other is that I have not saved the manuscript and I am really a Chinese obsessive-compulsive disorder. I wish you could check it a hundred times before posting. I hope you can forgive me [please][please]
I'm so afraid that the author will suddenly make a double update
The male protagonist is getting more and more depressed
