The Qin Family Daughter Has a Sharp-Tongued Face

All because the Crown Prince once said while choosing his consort, "The Qin family girl has a sharp, unkind face. She's bound to be treacherous and jealous."

From then on, Qin Shuluo was plagued by rumors and gossip. She remained unmarried until she was twenty.

At last, she managed to put it all behind her and start over. She even found a new family to marry into, but by an unfortunate twist of fate, she rescued the Crown Prince from an assassination attempt. This time, he asked her, "Whose daughter are you?"

Qin Shuluo merely gave him a silent look, then turned and left.

But he was headstrong and arrogant, and kept appearing by her side, stirring up endless gossip in the streets. This forced her to break off her engagement with the Song family, and her fiance was sent to the battlefield.

When the Emperor finally decreed their marriage, news of Song Yu's death arrived at the Crown Prince's residence on their wedding night, along with all the congratulatory gifts.

For the first time, Qin Shuluo looked him straight in the eye and said coldly, "Why couldn't it have been you who died?"

When Xiao Xun was young, he had only one goal: to avenge his mother. He did many things in pursuit of it, and hurt some people along the way.

So what? He had been born to a position of power. It was only right that everything and everyone serve him and revolve around him.

But he never imagined that one careless remark of his would ruin half a woman's life, nor that he would later fall into her hands.

He did everything he could to make up for what he'd done, but she never once spoke to him with a smile. He went to great lengths to get his father to decree their marriage, only for her to say on their wedding night, "Why couldn't it have been you who died?"

He had never imagined that the once gentle and kind Qin Shuluo could say something like that, all for the sake of another man.

Xu Lianxia had only ever been a girl without a family of her own, living under someone else's roof. But before her father died, he had arranged an engagement for her, and her uncle decided to marry her off to Shengjing.

She heard her fiance was the famous Prince of Pingnan, the Emperor's most beloved younger brother. She thought that if she lived a good life, she would at least have a place to call home.

But on their wedding day, her husband ran away. Only then did she learn that he had long been in love with a wandering swordswoman. They had agreed to run away together and elope.

Overnight, she became the laughingstock of all Shengjing.

The rumors that swept through the city cut like knives. Even her uncle was disgraced, and in a fit of anger, he brought her back home.

But she never imagined that one day she would return to Shengjing.

On the day she came back, the whole city was decked in red silk, with a lavish bridal procession stretching for miles and crowds everywhere. The Emperor and Empress welcomed the Prince of Pingnan and his consort back to the capital in person, and even granted generous rewards to her uncle's family, giving them every courtesy.

Everyone praised the Princess of Pingnan for her cleverness, saying she had managed to win the prince back. At last, she could wash away the humiliation and hold her head high.

But that night, Xu Lianxia slit her wrists.

Her suicide note contained only one sentence: The lotus flowers in Jiangnan are blooming. Father, Mother, I'm coming to find you.
