The Legitimate Daughter Took the Fall and Served Three Years in Prison. After She Cut Ties, Her Family Begged for Forgiveness

[Historical romance tragedy + physical and emotional torment + household intrigue + true and fake heiresses + second male lead takes the top spot + both leads are each other’s one and only + a long road to remorse]

Lu Qingyan is the most cherished legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s household. Her parents and older brothers dote on her, making her the most pampered young woman in the capital.

But everything changes after their adopted daughter, Lu Wanwan, joins the household.

First, the parents and brothers who once cherished her begin favoring their adopted daughter.

Then her childhood sweetheart, an assistant minister of the Court of Judicial Review, helps the adopted daughter frame her and personally sends her to prison.

During three years in prison, every fingernail is torn from the hands she once used to play the zither.

Her beautiful dancing feet are cruelly broken.

When she returns from prison, she isn’t welcomed with kindness.

Instead, they give her to a depraved man who is incapable of sex.

But Lu Qingyan is no longer the soft, obedient pushover who longs for family affection!

She no longer wants their false familial love, nor does she care for the fleeting promise of romance.

So why, after she cuts ties with them all, do they one by one kneel before her door, eyes bloodred, repenting to the point of madness?
