[Blurb]
Everyone says Jing Yu was born lucky. Not only does she come from the prestigious Jing family of Xiangzhou, she's also the beloved only grandchild of Grand Tutor Jing.
She fell ill and died young, but just as she was about to be buried, she came back to life and climbed out of her coffin. She became the head of the Jing family, was first granted the title of Lady of Tangyang Township, then married the Duke of the North, Baili Chengyuan, who had reclaimed the lost lands of the northern frontier. She became a duchess and was granted an official noble title as well.
Jing Yu merely laughs when she hears this.
What do you mean, fate? What fate do I have? Am I lucky?
When I was still called Jia Shenghan, I was just the daughter of an ordinary official, living a comfortable life. I thought my father loved me and my mother doted on me.
Who could have known?
My mother was falsely accused and died a terrible death;
my father... he wanted fame, fortune, and power, not me;
Shen Gaoyuan used me;
Weng Tingfei brought about my ruin.
So this is the fate you speak of, the good fortune you claim I had.
Let me tell you: I don't believe in fate.
I decide my own destiny!
Content warning: This isn't a fluffy, naive romance, nor is the heroine a devoted wife and mother.
[Bonus Scene 1: Lean on Me]
Jing Yu sits beside a flowing stream, takes off her shoes and socks, and gently pats the cold water against her sprained, swollen ankle.
Baili Chengyuan asks her, “Even so, are you still going to press on?”
Jing Yu answers, “There's no way back. I can only go forward.”
Baili Chengyuan turns his back to her and kneels. “If you grow tired, try leaning on me.”
[Bonus Scene 2: The Slope]
Jing Yu looks up at the horizon. “Where do you think those clouds are drifting?”
Baili Chengyuan takes her right hand, their fingers interlacing. “That depends on where the wind wants to go...”
[Bonus Scene 3: Newlyweds]
Baili Chengyuan gently lowers the hand Shenghan is holding her palace fan with. “Tell me, why did you choose me?”
Jing Yu gazes into Baili Chengyuan's eyes. “I don't know the answer either. Perhaps I can spend my whole life answering you...”
Theme: Reborn from hatred, living anew for love
I want to see the male protagonist go dark, become Tai Feng's consort (foreign races should be able to accept sister-brother love), become a new generation boss, the female protagonist's emotions are greatly affected, King Fu comes to power, the female protagonist holds the handle of King Fu, controls the other aristocratic families, and together with King Fu, declares war on the male protagonist... Great chaos
The male protagonist is the son of Baili's father and a foreign woman (a princess or the like) (the male protagonist is the son of Baili's father's sister and a foreign boy). The foreign king whom the male protagonist killed when he was a child was his uncle. The uncle did not want to embarrass the male protagonist, but only wanted to force him to withdraw from the army/marry him. The current The foreign king and princess are the cousins of the male protagonist, so they are looking for the male protagonist tirelessly, or the male protagonist is the result of an affair with the foreign princess, or the former king forced him to love a certain Baili... Madam, please avoid these easy-to-guess cliché plots???
I don't know when Xiao Jing fell in love with the male protagonist, and when did the male protagonist fall in love with the female protagonist. I remember that before the princess died, she seemed to have paid attention to the female protagonist, but she couldn't get the charm of the male protagonist... I always felt that the female protagonist ranked revenge on her mother after the male protagonist. The female protagonist's biological father has been offline for two centuries. Please come out and do something bad. The female protagonist can avenge her mother first before falling in love.
It feels like a century has passed since the male protagonist was offline
Madam, wake up, wake up, it's time to update at 12 o'clock
Let's make a blind guess that Jing Yu is not the biological child of his parents. My wife hinted that I should get it.
Why not just kill Changsun Ming?
The uncle of the Gongye family seems to be very capable and has a normal brain circuit than the emperor... If the emperor and Prince Fu die, will Gongye Lin also have a chance to succeed? Will the emperor have any more children?
The dangers Jing Yu has faced so far are far less than the resources she has. The only real threat is life, or probation, which is not exciting enough⊙_⊙
The tie came too quickly. Please keep up the good work.
