The Return of the Pearl: The Fragrant Warmth of the Purple Rose Remains

Upcoming story: [Dream of the Red Chamber] Master She Is Reborn

In his previous life, he had all the splendors of a wealthy, beautiful world, a life of comfort and privilege. But after spending his whole life in that gentle paradise, he ended up separated from his wife and children, with his family destroyed.

#

Master She, former heir to the Rongguo Mansion, died on the road to exile. When he opened his eyes, he discovered he had been reborn at seventeen.

#

At seventeen, he had been married to Zhang for less than a year. His grandmother, who had doted on him all his life, was still alive. His father had not yet been completely swayed by his mother into favoring the other son. But, unfortunately, his younger brother Jia Zheng, that hypocrite, was already engaged to Wang, and would soon be bringing her home as his wife.

#

Master She had this to say: We are splitting up the family. We absolutely have to split up! I won't let the second branch ruin my life a second time!

And now, a cute little divider

What if Xia Zhiwei had received more than just lessons in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting as a child?

What if Xia Zhiwei had stayed somewhere other than the crowded courtyard where Xiao Yanzi lived when she went to the capital to find her family?

What if Xia Zhiwei were no longer weak and meek, and didn't keep having bouts of saintly compassion? Would she still swear sisterhood with Xiao Yanzi? Would she still have a passionate romance with Fu Erkang?
