Plucking the Loftiest Flower (Reborn)

Sorry, everyone. Winter has passed, and this story has been on hold for too long. I can't get back into the mood I was in when I wrote it. It will be automatically unlocked later.

For the first sixteen years of her previous life, Wang Shu was a noble young lady from a prestigious family, radiant and beautiful, peerless in grace and charm. Whenever she went out, servants and splendid carriages surrounded her, drawing everyone's attention. At home, she was surrounded by gold, jade, fine silks, and precious treasures.

And to top it all off, she was engaged to the man every woman in the Great Ye dynasty wanted to marry: Pei Xueyin, heir to the Duke of Jingguo.

When she was sixteen, a rebellion sent Wang Shu plunging off a cliff. Both her legs were broken, and she was paralyzed for life.

The once-glorious young noblewoman fell from the clouds into hell, subjected to scorn and ridicule.

Her parents abandoned her and supported her younger sister, Wang Rou.

Pei Xueyin abandoned her and married her own younger sister instead.

Her heart filled with resentment. She hated everyone.

She stopped at nothing. If she couldn't be happy, then no one else would be happy either.

Wang Rou thought she could laugh at her?

Then Wang Shu would take the person Wang Rou loved, that refined, aloof, and spotless heir to the Duke of Jingguo, and drag him down into the abyss with her.

She schemed to ruin Wang Rou and Pei Xueyin's wedding plans.

She made Pei Xueyin marry her instead.

He loathed and hated her, yet could do nothing about it.

She tormented Pei Xueyin and everyone else.

In the end, she grew tired.

It all seemed pointless. Tormenting Pei Xueyin was pointless. Tormenting herself was pointless. Living was pointless.

On a snowy day, she buried herself.

If she was filthy from head to toe, she might as well bury herself in the vast white earth and leave this world clean.

But she never expected to come back to life.

And on the very day she schemed against Pei Xueyin.

When Pei Xueyin came to, he clamped a hand around her throat, his entire body radiating cold fury.
