This story combines Romance in the Rain and Between Water and Clouds.
Xinping, who died of lung disease seven years ago, transmigrates into the body of Hua'er, the poor little girl in Between Water and Clouds. Having forgotten her memories of her past life, Xinping can think only of the pain brought on by Cuiping's death.
She must take revenge. That's what she tells herself.
Seven years later, she moves from Hangzhou to Shanghai with her father Mei Ruohong and his new wife, Du Qianqian, and begins looking for a chance to avenge her mother, whom her father drove to her death.
By chance, she meets the family she had in Shanghai in her previous life as Xinping, and her memories slowly begin to return.
In the end, she recognizes her younger sister Yiping and reunites with her mother, Wen Pei.
Now, besides taking revenge on Mei Ruohong, she has another goal: helping Wen Pei live independently, no longer a woman dependent on Lu Zhenhua.
P.S. Friends who've seen Romance in the Rain will surely remember Xinping. She is an unseen character who never appears in the TV drama and died many years ago. Still, she lives on in the memories of her parents and younger sister, and is the daughter most like Deng Pingping, the woman Lu Zhenhua loved most.
As for Hua'er, anyone who's seen Between Water and Clouds will know her too: a poor little girl who travels with her mother Cuiping from Sichuan to Hangzhou to find her relatives. Just days after reuniting with her father, Cuiping jumps into West Lake and kills herself to let Mei Ruohong have his way.
These were originally two separate stories, but after I finished plotting them, I realized they were both about daughters taking revenge on their fathers for their mothers. So I combined the two stories and wrote them together.
P.S. 2: For the Between Water and Clouds portion, I've mostly followed the novel. The novel and TV drama are very similar, with only minor differences. The biggest difference is that the novel keeps Suqing as a character. She never leaves and stays with the Du family to the very end, so I've kept her in my story too, to add more drama. This concubine has always been a troublemaker, and with her around, the fun never stops.
I think if Xinping was reborn, it would not be like this.
Xinping is Lu Zhenhua's favorite daughter. She gets whatever she wants, and no one will risk offending Black Panther by messing with her. Therefore, Xinping is definitely well protected and very innocent, but this heroine is very scheming.
She took advantage of the kind-hearted Ru Ping and Du Xiaowei, who had a crush on her, without any ideological burden. This is not something a simple person can do.
But calling her smart doesn't mean she's smart.
Now she lives in the Du family, and her tuition and living expenses are all paid by the Du family. However, the heroine is not only ungrateful, she is also obsessed with dealing with and taking revenge... Is this a bit suspicious of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to curse?
Forget it, regardless of whether this is a kind question or not, I just want to ask from a realistic perspective: After ruining the Du family and bringing her father into ruin, what is she going to do? Drop out of school and sleep on the streets?
Is she prepared for anything? For example, to save some property? Looking for some source of future livelihood? Is it a job or further education?
No! She didn't do anything! He just thought about revenge.
As for Yiping and the others, she also failed miserably. I didn't think about anything, so I went to the door in a daze. In the end, I didn't have any plan. Alas...
This heroine's brain is really not very good. What's even more sad is that she thinks she is very smart.
In fact, I sympathized with Meng Ping when I was watching Love in the Rain. Her aggressive and unruly personality was entirely due to her mother's failure to teach her well and her father's indifference. In addition, something like that happened later. For a girl of that era, her life was basically ruined. But Meng Ping like this now is really annoying...
Xiaowei is quite useful at this time~~
Mengping is truly worthy of being born to her mother...
I really don't like Ruping. . . . . . . If you were really kind, you wouldn't let Yiping and her daughter get into such a miserable state. . . . .
In fact, Wang Xueqin in the original book said something that is quite right: If the first eight favored people can still wait until I come in. Moreover, Wang Xueqin also managed not to let Lu Zhenhua harm other girls and wives after entering the house, so when it comes to being a mistress, you have to be as conscious as Wang Xueqin. Adjutant Li was not a good guy either. He was a complete loser when following Lu Zhenhua. When Lu Zhenhua fell in love with any older girl or younger daughter-in-law, he not only refused to persuade her, but also helped to rob her. Later, when it came to their daughter Keyun, he couldn't stand it anymore and thought Erhao was a beast. In fact, Lu Zhenhua and Bill Hao went even further. Why did he think it was right? The reason is simply that the woman Lu Zhenhua harmed belongs to someone else's family, so he thinks it is right. Although Ke Yun is pitiful, it is a kind of retribution for Adjutant Li. Don't you like to help your commander rob the bride, and then watch one woman after another being played by your commander and then thrown aside to rob others? Don't you always think it is normal? Then try it on your daughter. Isn't it normal? Therefore, the best way to abuse someone is not to abuse the person himself but to abuse the person he cares about most. Aunt Qiong Yao has a deep understanding of the word abuse of heart.
It's not disgusting, it's just a bit icky
Very well written. Give me a small flower. ↖(^ω^)↗

This family is really lively, the inevitable result of three wives and four concubines
