Chun Qiao was fifteen before she learned she wasn't the Earl's legitimate daughter, but an illegitimate child of unknown parentage.
She was never welcome at the Earl's residence, and when she finally left, hardly anyone cared.
Her so-called “family” treated her like a discarded shoe, while viewing the real young lady, who had always eyed her with hostility, as a precious pearl.
With nowhere else to turn, she set her sights on the “older brother” she'd bullied countless times in the past.
Sheng Qiuchao was cool and noble, as beautiful as a jade tree, and already renowned at a young age.
He was only an adopted son, yet everyone praised his talent and sang the praises of his looks and character.
Later, Chun Qiao had a dream and learned Sheng Qiuchao's earth-shattering secret.
He should have killed her to eliminate any future threat, but for some reason, he didn't.
Later still, Sheng Qiuchao broke her heart.
In the end, the day she eloped with someone else, a fine rain fell over the world.
Chun Qiao inexplicably remembered the fortune Sheng Qiuchao had once asked for on her behalf.
It said: “Few worldly ties await you in this life. Do not force what cannot be.”
For days, she had been so naive, thinking she'd captured his true heart, thinking her beauty meant she could keep him looking only at her forever.
She sighed. “Fool.”
Months after they parted, Chun Qiao became the legitimate daughter who had been found and returned to the Duke of Liang's household.
At a family banquet at the duke's residence, she saw a figure approaching through the rain with an umbrella.
It was Sheng Qiuchao. He leaned down, taking in Chun Qiao's gorgeous, begonia-like face.
The soft rain pattered against the umbrella.
He seemed to smile faintly, then said, “You don't like me, hmm?”
Sheng Qiuchao thought he must be insane to have loved Chun Qiao for so many years.
At the same time, Chun Qiao grabbed the maid beside her by the arm and whispered, “Who is he? Have I met him before?”
The maid from the Duke of Liang's household glanced at the new emperor and replied in terror, “This servant doesn't know.”
