Beautiful Women of Shengjing

Before she came of age, she thought her life would go something like this: once she reached adulthood, she would marry the man she loved, just as she wished. After that, she would build a family with him and have children. But everything she had imagined was turned upside down one day before she came of age. A schemer drove a wedge between them, and her childhood sweetheart turned against her. Seriously wounded, she nearly died at the hands of the man she loved. After that, the talented and beautiful eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue's household became a wastrel who spent every day stirring up trouble and picking fights. One day, someone stopped her and asked, “Have you ever risked your life for someone?” She paused, then gave a scornful laugh. “The person I once risked my life for has grass three yards tall growing over his grave by now.” Someone hiding in a corner, eavesdropping, silently lowered the knife he had raised.
