A Yan is a lowly, quiet, and gentle maidservant attending the second young lady of the Jiang family.
The eldest daughter, born of a concubine, was the fourth concubine of the master of the Zhou household. Master Zhou was cruel and volatile, often beating people. The eldest daughter was beaten to death. The Old Madam was too afraid to make a fuss, so she ordered the legitimate second young lady to serve Master Zhou and preserve the relationship between the two families.
The second young lady did not want to go, but dared not disobey the Old Madam. Seeing the beautiful A Yan at her side, she came up with an idea.
In her previous life, A Yan ended up in the Zhou household. Her exceptionally alluring looks made Madam Zhou wary, and she had people slash A Yan's face. A Yan froze to death on the street. Her soul left her body, and she encountered a young gentleman passing by. She attached herself to the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist and followed him to the capital.
In this life, A Yan escaped Master Zhou, only to become the object of the eldest young master's desire. He wanted to take her as a concubine, but the eldest young master's wife could not stand her beauty either, so she had A Yan sold off.
A Yan was sold to a brothel. To her surprise, she had been sent there as a gift from Master Zhou after being taken into the Zhou household.
The young gentleman was a man of extraordinary bearing, as elegant as a jade tree. He was none other than the owner of the Buddhist beads from her previous life.

In her previous life, Gu Ying, the eldest daughter of the Huai'an Marquis's first household, was kidnapped and taken to Jiangnan. She was adopted by the renowned beauty Wan Niang. When the wealthy merchant Master Xu ransomed Wan Niang, Aunt Wan looked at Gu Ying and said to him, "The girl is a beauty in the making. Why not keep her by your side and raise her? She'll surely be useful to you one day."
Master Xu then registered Gu Ying under Aunt Wan's name and raised her as a daughter of the Xu family born to a concubine.
More than ten years later, the Xu family's main household moved to the capital, hoping to secure an opening as imperial merchants. Master Xu came up with a plan to present Gu Ying to the capital's powerful and influential figures.
But no one expected Gu Ying's true identity to come to light just days after she arrived in the capital. Along with it came the revelation that she had been betrothed since childhood to the heir of the Duke of Xin's estate.
The Grand Princess dotes on her legitimate grandson so much. Surely she wouldn't really make her precious grandson marry the disgraced Gu Ying?
In her previous life, even Gu Ying herself never expected the Duke of Xin's household to honor the marriage arrangement.
But with her reputation in tatters and no support from her birth family, Gu Ying found her mother-in-law, Dou, coming up with new ways to torment her day after day after she married into the Duke of Xin's household. Her sisters-in-law mocked and sneered at her, too. After finally managing to give birth to a son, she had not even had a chance to see the baby in his swaddling clothes before her mother-in-law ordered him taken to her courtyard.
After many years of enduring everything with humility, Gu Ying met an untimely death.
Reborn, she found herself back just before her wedding to the heir of the Duke of Xin. Gu Ying was still anxious and uneasy. Then, to her surprise, her stepsister came to her, saying she wanted to ease her worries and was willing to take her place and marry him instead.
Had her stepsister been reborn too?!

?????? I don't understand why you have to leave a bl-leaning ending.
After all, this Jiang Yuan grew up in the Duke's Mansion. Why is he so crazy? He looks like a shrew in the market. When he says these words, he is just plain disgusting.
The story is quite interesting, but the plot develops too fast and lacks foreshadowing, and there are too few emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists, but overall it is still very interesting.
It feels like reading the synopsis of another novel.
Jiang Wan should be sold to the Flower House, where she would be a slave and be raped, so that she could suffer what the heroine suffered in her previous life and what she might suffer in this life. The male protagonist should be very powerful. He has never been plotted in this life, so why was he poisoned to death in his previous life?
Pei Jian and Mianmian... Have a story?
Cousins!!!! Close relative marriage! No, I can't read a book
I don't understand why the old man didn't say anything either. Although his wife is indeed not a good person, after all, his wife misunderstood that he had a son with another woman, and it is normal for her to dislike the male protagonist. If he tells the truth that this is the son he raised for someone else, and he is also a noble person with a special status, then can his wife not treat him well? The old man really made the whole family miserable.
After all, the emperor is the uncle of the heroine, why do you talk like this?
Are they cousins? Hahahahaha
