After Ruining the Young Master's Honor, the General's Legitimate Daughter Refused to Take Responsibility

In her previous life, her father returned victorious from war with a young general in tow, and had him tutor her. The young man was a master of both letters and military strategy, and was strikingly handsome, with sharp brows and bright eyes. One glance was all it took for her to fall for him. To win him, she used herself as bait, casting aside every notion of propriety, virtue, and moral conduct. She never expected that the young man would rise to power and become the supreme ruler of the realm, while she was cast into an endless abyss. She watched the Shen family fall overnight. Her closest loved ones were beheaded in a single night, and there was no one left in the world who cared whether she lived or died. She was forced to eke out a few more years in the cold palace, before finally dying on a snowbound winter’s day. When she opens her eyes again, she has the young man pinned beneath her. Her red lips brush the corner of his, while the red silk tied around his wrist and the fine chain at his ankle leave no doubt about what she is doing. This time, her heart is calm as still water, and her former obsession is gone. If she cannot change her fate, she will accept it. But this time, he will be nothing more than the tutor who teaches her. She lets go and walks away, keeping a proper distance from him. But from the moment the young man rushes into the room with red-rimmed eyes, he can never again be merely her tutor, as she wishes.
