Reborn After Three Years as a Slave, I Turned on My Family and Took Them Down

Su Wenyu grew up in a brothel, raised as a plaything. Her adoptive mother had once been the star courtesan of the Wanhua House, famous throughout the capital. When Su Wenyu was twelve, her adoptive mother suddenly came down with a terrible illness. On her deathbed, she told Su Wenyu a story. It was about a powerful nobleman who fell in love with the most celebrated courtesan in the capital. Back then, the courtesan believed his vows, bought her freedom, and was hidden away by him in an alley. Later, she became pregnant, but the nobleman’s lawful wife came to her door. A bowl of medicine cost the courtesan her child, and she was sold out of the city that very night. Not long afterward, the lawful wife gave birth, and the family lived happily together. The courtesan barely survived the journey back to the capital, sneaked into the nobleman’s home, and stole the child. To take revenge on them, she raised the child in a brothel, training her to become a courtesan from a young age… At this point, her adoptive mother looked at Su Wenyu with an expression she couldn’t understand, gazing deep into her eyes as if she could see something else within her. “Yu’er, I’ve raised you for twelve years, yet there’s not a single thing about you that’s like me. You’ve never even met that wicked woman, but in every way, you’re just like her.” Su Wenyu froze, then understood. She was the child in the story. Later, her adoptive mother died, and a party from the Duke of Zhenguo’s residence in the capital arrived, saying they had come to take her home. Just like that, she became the duke’s legitimate eldest daughter. But who could have guessed that this would lead her into another abyss…
