The Ashes of Spring Begonia

【A Push and Pull Between Two Hearts + Anguished, All-Consuming Romance + Political Intrigue and Household Rivalries: A Cautious, Sensitive, Suspicious Daughter of a Condemned Official × An Innocent, Sincere Young Master Devoted to One Love】 When they first met, Su Wantang took him for an ordinary playboy: the third young master of the Gu family, who would toss out ten thousand gold to enjoy a night of pleasure. Shallow, reckless, and not worth a second glance. But then Gu Huaijin said, “I want to marry you.” She smiled sweetly, but kept her feelings to herself, calculating how to use the Gu family to uncover the truth behind her family’s downfall. But the human heart is the hardest thing to control. Gu Huaijin fought his way into her heart, one step at a time. Su Wantang did not want to fall for him, yet she could not escape it. Everyone said that a woman of the pleasure quarters who married into a powerful family and rose to become a phoenix ought to be grateful. No one knew that she, too, had once been surrounded by a loving family. Her father traveled across mountains and rivers with her, her mother taught her embroidery and crafts, and her elder brother kept her safe and carefree year after year. Then came the raging fire ten years ago. It reduced everything the Su family had to ashes and cut off every path home. How could she ever let it go? She could never let it go. Revenge was the only obsession that kept her alive. The Gu family fell, and at last she avenged her family. But he said lightly, “Su Wantang, you chose the wrong person to take revenge on.”
