After Her Heart Dies, the General Begs for Her Back

Shen Liuli lost her birth mother as a child. True to her name, she lived her whole life in elegance, yet always with caution. From a young age, she was known for her poise and propriety, earning the title of the capital's foremost talented woman. After marrying, she became renowned for her virtue and generosity. She nervously adhered to every convention, never daring to cross the line in the slightest. Then one day, she had a dream. In it, she was Zhou Yansheng's wife, who died young. Not long after her death, her husband married a lively country girl who broke every rule. The two lived in loving harmony, making many ladies of the capital envious. By comparison, whenever people spoke of her... Her stepmother said, “My stepdaughter has always been aloof. I poured my heart into caring for her, yet she never appreciated any of it.” A former friend said, “Liuli was far too competitive, always fighting to be first in everything. Being her sister was suffocating.” Old Madam Zhou said, “My son suffered. His first wife was dull and couldn't even bear him a child, wasting so many years of his life.” Only then did Shen Liuli realize just how miserably she had lived her life.
