Zhong Liyao wanted to climb higher.
She set her sights on her adopted brother, the eldest son of the Hou family and the head of the Lelingcheng clan. In order to capture him, she did not hesitate to drug him and crawl into his bed.
Bad news, she didn't make it.
The good news is that she wasn't kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion either.
Fearing that his revenge would ruin the marriage, she quickly agreed to the prince's marriage proposal.
But on the day of the engagement, her sworn brother dragged her into a quiet pavilion filled with Buddhist scriptures. The kiss made her breathless, and she complained aggrievedly: "How can you like me and marry my cousin?"
Zhong Liyao: "?"
She has always believed that women's rights can only be obtained by men.
So she treated her body as capital and despised herself wantonly, until she was rejected by the man she chose as her prey, and borrowed his words to find another way.
He said: "Is there anything you want to do or like to do? What kind of person do you want to be in the rest of your life? Is it to stay in the inner house and take charge of the middle class, to care for your husband and raise your children, or to spread your wings and become a flying bird in the sky and fly around the world?"
She didn't know, but she didn't want to give her life to others.
She chose the second option.
It took him six years to climb from a lowly prostitute's daughter to the top of the county head, even though he was about to die several times.
The wind and rain are like darkness, and the world is hard and harsh.
But there was always a familiar shadow beside her.
Zhong Liyao held her sleeping daughter in her arms and suddenly became curious, "When did my brother start to think it was me?"
Cheng Fuju gently took the child and glanced at her with a hint of sadness, "Probably... Ever since you fell asleep and played with me, I have gradually become addicted to it. I can't get rid of my obsession, and I have no reason to see you."
It was on those ordinary days when the cold came and the summer came, she naughtily broke into his dream, not afraid of the ruler or his anger, like a spirit in the mountains and seas, teasing and humiliating him wantonly.
And when I woke up, everything was empty.
This desire starts from the bottom of my heart and is out of control.
It was she who started calling others brother, and it was she who only smiled at others.
It was the first time that he clearly felt possession, and it shouldn't be his feelings for his sister.
It was when he recognized his true feelings that he saw the woman's plight.
It was his worldly delusion that could not be compared to accompanying her to find an open path.
He had served the Buddha for ten years, and although he could not be said to have attained enlightenment and enlightenment, couldn't he have spent his whole life... To save this person?
Fortunately, God has mercy.
