The Loyal Hound of the General’s House Swears to Protect the Eldest Daughter

In her previous life, on the day of her wedding, someone framed her entire family and had them thrown in prison, where they were sentenced to execution after the autumn harvest. The night before the execution, a woman claiming to be a princess consort first gouged out the beauty mark between her brows, then subjected her to brutal torture. At the end, she smugly told her about the General’s Manor’s plight and the conspiracy behind it. She ordered the guards to force poison down her throat. When she didn’t die, they kept pouring it down. She had no idea how much she drank before her mind began to fade. She would never forget that woman’s smug face. When she awoke again, she was astonished to discover she had been reborn at the age of fourteen. None of the tragedies had happened yet. When she went with her mother to a temple to have her fortune told, the result was: “A brilliant, hardy orchid, destined to turn the tide.” A hardy orchid: that was precisely her, Li Weilan. She was born in winter, when the orchids bloomed in a rare spectacle. Since the fortune had said so, how could she sit around and do nothing, meekly waiting for the General’s Manor to be raided? She had that woman to thank, really. Otherwise, she never would have learned of the conspiracy behind it all.
