My Late Grandmother Was Beloved by All

First published on Jinjiang. Please support the official version. Zhongli Ru was born after a difficult labor, and her mother had disliked her ever since. In her memories, Zhongli Ru had no parents or siblings, only her grandmother. When she was thirteen, her grandmother passed away, leaving instructions that Zhongli Ru must not announce her death. Only then did Zhongli Ru learn that she had parents and siblings, and even a grandfather who was still alive. Zhongli Ru kept her promise and mourned her grandmother for three years. Then one day, the village gate suddenly opened, and men came bursting through one after another. The richest man in the land, the greatest scholar under heaven, the current prime minister, and the emperor himself all demanded to know where Zhongli Ru's grandmother was. No one believed Zhongli Ru. They even wanted to dig up the grave... Later, while reading the diary her grandmother had left behind, Zhongli Ru learned the term "everyone's darling."
