The Stand-In Heiress Quits

Shen Zhao was the eldest daughter of the Shenwei General’s household. She was dazzling and flamboyant, more vivid and free-spirited than any precious pearl. She had always believed she was the apple of everyone’s eye. Until she was seventeen, when a young woman named Shen Yan came to the Shenwei General’s household. The parents who had once loved her told Shen Zhao, “Shen Zhao, Yan Yan is our biological daughter.” Back then, Shen Yan had accidentally gone missing. The General’s wife was grief-stricken, so General Shen picked up a young girl with amnesia on the road and raised her as his own daughter to comfort his heartbroken wife. That girl was Shen Zhao. Only then did Shen Zhao understand that she had merely been Shen Yan’s replacement. All these years, that was all she had ever been. Her status and pride seemed so laughable. Overnight, Shen Zhao’s life was turned upside down. The people she cherished shielded another woman and stood against her. In this world, she was left entirely alone. · The day Shen Zhao was forced to leap off a cliff, fierce winds and torrential rain swept through, and dead leaves covered the ground. The woman in red, wounded and battered, resolutely leaped from the cliff, heedless of everyone around her. Her red robes stained that day’s rain red as she screamed at the top of her lungs, “If I survive, one day I’ll come back and make you pay for everything!” Her voice fell into the rain, and then it was all gone. They suddenly remembered the radiant Shen Zhao, flamboyant and dazzling, carefree and uninhibited. That Shen Zhao fell into the rain with that flash of red, and became nothing more than a speck of dust. There was no Shen Zhao left in this world. · Many years later, rebels surrounded the capital, and upstarts seized the throne. The nobles of Yanjing looked from afar at the Princess Consort beside the new emperor. She looked so much like Shen Zhao, who had left such a lasting impression in Jinling all those years ago. She stood at the very top, looking down at everyone, but the arrogant flamboyance was gone. [Reader Advisory] Read with caution! It will most likely have a bad ending.
