She was born the daughter of a prominent official, but now she's been reduced to nothing. Above her is an arrogant concubine with a kind face and a cruel heart; below her is a frail, young brother, and her timid mother has been forced into servitude...
When Shui Yi transmigrates, what awaits her isn't a happy new life, but a ladle of scalding soup.
“You want rice soup? I'll give you more than you can drink! Look at you, eating like you've been starving your whole life!” Scalding hot soup is hurled at the mother and her three children.
With a vicious half-sister, a concubine who twists the truth, and a useless father eager to make things even worse, it seems he is determined to throw the widowed mother and her children out onto the street...
Shui Yi gives a cold smile. If there's no place for her here, there will be somewhere else. One day, she'll trample all these people underfoot!
From then on, the villainess takes charge. Starting from scratch, she brings her whole family along on the road to prosperity...
A little preview of the proposal:
Beneath green trees and blue hills, beside a clear, gently flowing stream, a man stands tall and straight while a woman cuts a graceful figure.
“As the saying goes, it's better to make a connection with an enemy than to leave things unresolved.” The man's cool, clear voice rings out as he looks at the woman beside him.
“So you know our feud can't be resolved?” The woman arches a brow, anger simmering in her watery eyes.
“I mean a different kind of connection. We could become acquainted, become friends, get married, join together, or even have children...” The man gazes tenderly into her angry eyes and answers with a faint smile.
“Ah!” The woman freezes on the spot. Is this what people call a proposal?
