She was a modern-day miracle-working doctor, aloof and proud. People came to her for help; she never had to ask anyone for anything.
Then, in a single moment, she transmigrated and became the ancient world's version of a doormat.
A shabby courtyard, a bowl of medicine to make her mute, and an old man. MY GOD! Su Yi opened her eyes and suddenly wanted to die again, just to see if she could transmigrate somewhere better...
The main branch stole her fiancé and still wanted to finish her off! She wasn't some saint, and she certainly wasn't a doormat... One great fire turned a wedding that should have shaken the whole realm into charred scraps, leaving rumors everywhere.
Her stepmother was as two-faced as a modern-day award-winning actress. She treated Su Yi with warmth and boundless concern to her face, while secretly plotting to kill her so that her own daughter could be the only legitimate daughter!
Damn it! My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's. If Heaven wants me dead, I'll destroy Heaven!
Scene One:
“Lin Chushui, no matter what you do, I will never give you a second glance. Don't waste your effort.”
Shen Feng held the delicate woman in his arms, his face full of disgust as he looked at the woman opposite him.
The woman sighed, casually tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. Her voice was languid.
“Waste my effort? I can't be bothered, especially not with a man like you.”
At her words, Shen Feng's swordlike brows drew together. Clearly unconvinced, he thought she was playing another trick.
The woman sighed, then turned and walked away. Her airy words drifted back to him.
“Flowers come in every color, but people and dogs aren't the same. And you and I are not the same.”
Scene Two:
On a dark, moonless night.
The woman wore green, serene as the evening moon. The man wore white, pale as the twilight haze.
She lowered her eyes, her voice lilting like a phoenix's song.
“Thank you for saving my life, my lord. I have no way to repay you, so I can only keep your kindness in my heart.”
The man's exquisitely drawn brows lifted, and his voice rang low and clear as jade.
“Didn't you say last time that you had no way to repay me, and would give yourself to me and stay by my side forever?”
“...”
“I thought about it after I got back. Refusing you so outright was rather cruel, so I've decided to make a small sacrifice and accept you.”
“...”
Scene Three:
“Lin Chushui, the second daughter of the Lin family, is gentle and virtuous. She is hereby named Princess Anping and will be sent to the Feng Kingdom for a political marriage on a date to be chosen.”
When the imperial edict arrived, Lin Chushui considered it and decided that the title of Princess Anping was acceptable.
So she lowered her eyes and knelt, her voice sincere.
“This subject's daughter accepts the edict.”
Holding the edict in her hands, Lin Chushui lowered her brows and thought. She would have to find a woman she disliked who was both gentle and virtuous to take her place. The title of Princess Anping, however, couldn't be passed on. So she would just have to bear that inconvenience herself.
I recommend my completed novel, A Genius Abandoned Concubine. It's also a family-and-palace-intrigue story, with a powerful hero and heroine.
