I was once a poor orphan girl.
I escaped from a brothel and schemed to pass myself off as a rich family's daughter.
I thought a fortune beyond my wildest dreams awaited me.
Instead, my adoptive mother plotted to kill me, openly and behind my back.
I had no choice but to act meek and gentle while carefully choosing a husband who could protect me.
The heir to a marquis's estate, who came to ask for my hand, once promised me, "No matter what happens, you will always be my wife."
After we married, he truly loved and protected me, devoted to me alone.
Our days were sweet and peaceful, and at last I let out a sigh of relief.
Until my elder sister somehow got wind of the truth.
She told Xu Yuzhang that I had impersonated a daughter of the Li family.
She insisted with absolute certainty:
"My younger sister has been lying to you all along. I'm the only one who's ever been honest with you."
"Even her name is fake. How can you believe a single word she says?"
Xu Yuzhang was furious and refused to hear a word of my explanation.
"I was deceived by a counterfeit for so long, played like a fool in the palm of her hand."
Without hesitation, he divorced me and drove me out of the marquis's estate.
Even my father, who had always doted on me, disowned me.
With no one to protect me, I soon died at the hands of my adoptive mother.
Reborn on the day I asked my father to arrange a marriage for me, I let go of that idea. "The heir's position is so exalted. My elder sister is surely a better match for him."
Message: Love yourself.
