[Introduction to the work]
In the Marquis Mansion, there was a lively ceremony of haircut ceremony, and an old incident that had been buried for seventeen years was torn apart in public.
Two pieces of jade with misplaced fates were spread out under the eyes of a room full of powerful people.
One walked back from the muddy market, full of vigilance; the other grew up among the embroidery, but was trapped in an identity that was not his own and felt uneasy. The bloodline is innate, but the love of being together day and night for seventeen years also weighs heavily on people's hearts.
"Bloodline is nothing. Seventeen years of daily love are better than a piece of flesh and blood."
Pei Linheng stood among the guests, his clothes lifted by the draft, his words fell, and the whole hall became eerily silent.
The palms of Su Ciqu's hands were thick calluses worn out by years of hard work. The rough calluses rubbed against her sleeves, and her knuckles were quietly tightened. As she listened to everyone planning her marriage and use, her tone was calm, without any hint of vindictiveness:
"I have no intention of fighting for the prince's engagement. When I come back, I just want to get back the status that should belong to me. I don't want to become a pawn in the hands of others."
Shen Qitang lowered his hands, unable to stop his fingertips from trembling, his nails dug into his palms, and he felt numb. She was raised in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, but disaster happened to her out of thin air. Her voice was very soft and full of confusion:
"I have never done anything wrong. Why do I have to bear the consequences of this old mistake?"
Lu Yan held a book recording old events in his sleeves. The edges of the paper were so scratched that his palms ached. He looked at the people in the aristocratic family who were weighing the pros and cons:
"One's origin can only determine a person's starting point. Not all people in the market are vulgar, and not everyone in a high-class compound may have character."
The grand ceremony fell into pieces.
The girl who returns carries the loneliness and hardness polished by the market and is careful at every step; the girl who has occupied the glory for seventeen years is covered in beauty, but her heart is empty and helpless.
Four people are involved in this turmoil, with different positions, and their fates reflect and entangle with each other.
There is no clear line between good and evil, and there is no satisfying revenge in the face.
Some people are trapped by their origins, and some are tied by their past. Even if we can understand each other's involuntary actions and the scars we have suffered, they will not be completely eliminated.
The way forward ultimately depends on people's hearts and their own choices.
