After her stepmother’s scheme, Rongrong was accused of causing her baby brother’s death and leaving her younger sister in a coma. Her scumbag father beat her, sold her to a butcher’s family as a child bride, and planned to take blood from her heart to save her sister. Just as her heart was about to be carved out and her life hung in the balance, her uncles descended like divine guardians, fiercely protecting her. They tore the Su residence apart and beat her scumbag father until he was crippled.
Under the care of Grandpa Mu and her uncles, Rongrong became a little princess adored by everyone.
The whole capital spread the rumor that Rongrong had ruined the Su family and that the Mu family would soon be destroyed too.
But no one expected her fifth uncle to go from a good-for-nothing troublemaker to the top scholar, her third uncle’s business to flourish, and the Duke of Zhan’s household to become the richest in the land. The Duke of Zhan’s injuries and illnesses even healed on their own, and he personally led an army of three hundred thousand to crush the enemy coalition, undefeated.
The Mu family’s fortunes grew stronger and stronger, their power dominating the court. Even the royal family treated them with respect.
The mighty emperor looked at the gold-and-jade butterfly pinned to the little darling’s chest, a trace of fervor flashing in his eyes.
“Little sweetheart, I’ll give you my entire empire to play with!”
