Because of his biological mother's teachings, Wang Shuyi had the family rules engraved in his bones and blood since he was a child, even counting his breaths, for fear that his carelessness would have a bad impact on his aunt and brother.
But nineteen years of cautiousness finally became a perfect target for others to frame him.
When her father pinned all the charges on her head, the iron law of "protecting the family" was like a rusty lock, strangling her throat.
In the Mingde Hall, the moment the poisonous wine entered her throat, she finally saw clearly the shame behind the so-called family glory - she was just a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.
After her death, her soul wandered around the familiar yet unfamiliar Wang family mansion, encountering unexpected scenes in the moonlight:
The brother-in-law and sister-in-law who had not had much contact with each other in the past were actually kneeling in the ancestral hall until their knees were bleeding. They were arguing with the clan elders and were red-faced, trying to defend her every word;
However, her mother and young brother, whom she had risked her life to protect, lowered their eyes in the shadows, as if it had nothing to do with them.
It wasn't until the night wind brought a secret conversation that the shocking truth was revealed - she was just a substitute bought by Mrs. Su with money, and the real bloodline of the Wang family had died at birth!
She thought that the secret would be extinguished with the will-o'-the-wisp, but fate pulled her back half a month before the incident.
In the bronze mirror, the girl's eyes were still timid, but her fingertips already had crescent-shaped blood marks.
This time, she wants to be her own sword holder.
Wang Shuyi wanted to turn all the calculations hidden behind the sandalwood screen and the conspiracies soaked in the tea soup into sharp blades for his counterattack.
Wang Shuyi wanted to take back all the humiliation she had suffered. She wanted to tear apart all the coverings and live a good life for herself.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the carved window lattice in the morning, Wang Shuyi chuckled at himself in the mirror. What was swelling in his eyes was no longer fear, but a wildfire that could start a prairie fire - the sky in this house was about to change.
Purpose: In life, you should always fight for yourself.
