I was the adopted daughter of the Chancellor's household, but I fell in love with Jiang Ninghuai, who had always looked after me. I kept my feelings buried deep and never dared reveal them. But later, the missing legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household returned. I was accused of trying to murder her, leaving her gravely poisoned. I tried to defend myself, but people found letters in my room filled with my love for Jiang Ninghuai. My adoptive father called me shameless and accused me of plotting against the legitimate daughter. Jiang Ninghuai looked at me with disgust. “You're cruel and utterly devoid of propriety. Send her to Wutong Academy to learn some manners.” Three years later, my adoptive brother finally remembered me and brought me home. But when he saw the terrible scars covering my body, he fell to his knees before me, consumed with regret.
