The Carp Doesn't Want to Leap Through the Dragon Gate

Mo Ran had always been pure as a lotus, unstained by the mud. From afar or up close, from every angle, she thought he was beautiful and beyond reproach. Yet she was betrayed by the very man she thought so beautiful and beyond reproach. She was drugged and fell into the water. Everyone thought she had barely escaped death, didn't they? No, she had no chance of survival at all. But when Heaven doesn't want someone to die, even if she plunges from a sheer cliff and is struck by several arrows, she can still cling to life by a thread. Ten years have passed, with life and death separating them. Many have buried her in their memories, but she has returned once more. Only, times have changed, and people are no longer what they were. Everyone she knew, those she once helped and those who once helped her, has entered the court and risen to important positions in its merciless world, where the strong prey on the weak. Only she has changed her name and appearance, disguising herself as a powerful merchant behind a disfigured face. They reunite at the newly opened Taixiu House... Completed novels include Pearl Strings Woven Long, Gazing Toward the Cold River, and The Emperor Has Arrived
