Yu Sheng trusted the wrong people. Only on the brink of death did she learn that the powerful Chief Councillor had secretly loved her for a long time.
He killed the beast in human form who had wronged her, then gathered her emaciated body in his arms, calling her name again and again.
"Shengsheng... If only I'd known. I should have been ruthless and taken you away."
"Shengsheng... If only I'd come sooner."
But she no longer had the strength to answer him. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back on the day she first encountered the bandits. This time, she swore to protect her family and never again let herself be deceived and used.
But then she noticed something strange: why did tears fall uncontrollably whenever she saw the Chief Councillor?
Lu Yan didn't understand either. Why did his little girl look ready to burst into tears every time she saw him? He was sure someone else had wronged her, so he made a decision: he would kill every last person who had bullied Yu Sheng.
Later, he realized... his little fox was no pushover.
That was fine by him. Even if she was delicate, he was more than happy to spoil her.
[The heroine is only delicate in front of the hero. She is not really a crybaby; these are aftereffects of being reborn.]
