The True Heiress's Maid Is Reborn

Yu Ying had once enjoyed glory and prosperity. Though she was a servant, she was the trusted aide of the Marquis of Wuying’s wife, the young heir’s governess, and the head steward of the marquis’s household, with the lives and livelihoods of countless servants in her hands. Even the noble young ladies of the great families in the capital had to show her some respect. She had servants at her beck and call and wealth and power in her grasp. A simple wave of her hand was enough to bring a crowd rushing to curry favor with her, all hoping she would spare them a few mouthfuls of food. But only a few years later, the towers came crashing down, the mirrored flowers and moon on the water vanished, and in the end it had all been for nothing. Her young mistress died in the prime of her life. Less than a year later, the marquis remarried. The new wife saw them as thorns in her side, and to protect the child who had lost his mother, Yu Ying could only fall to her knees and beg in submission. But she died all the same. Before her death, Yu Ying looked back on her life. Ever since she had followed her young mistress back to the capital to find her birth family, she had watched her fight Yi Qingqiong, the fake heiress, and the Old Madam. She had even seen her birth mother point at her and say, “It would have been better not to bring you back.” After her young mistress married into the marquis’s household, she had to contend with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. Her husband knocked her to the ground and accused her of deceiving him into marriage... Her life had been truly exhausting. She had hardly enjoyed a single happy day. As she lay dying, Yu Ying came to her senses. There had, in fact, been chances to turn back during her life. First, she should not have let her young mistress become estranged from her birth mother. Second, she should not have helped her young mistress steal the fake heiress’s marriage and wed into the Marquis of Wuying’s household, personally pushing her toward exhaustion, illness, and an early death. Third, in life, one must never lose one’s goodness through secret schemes and plots. Once you cross the line and stain your hands, it is hard to turn back. When Yu Ying opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the time she had first entered the Yi family. After countless twists and turns in her thoughts, she decided that this time she would seek a new way to live, like Jingwei, the bird who tried to fill the sea. She could also try to be a good person. Theme: The difficult road is the right road.
