Xie Qingyin was the envy of every woman in Great Zhou. Her father was a mighty general, her mother a commandery princess, her brothers cherished her like a precious jewel, and she had a childhood sweetheart from a prestigious family as her fiance.
On the day she came of age, the fake daughter showed up to claim her family.
From then on, everything good she had was taken away. Her parents' love belonged to Xie Qingyan, her brothers' protection belonged to Xie Qingyan, and even her childhood sweetheart broke off their engagement without a moment's hesitation and chose to marry Xie Qingyan instead.
In the end, Xie Qingyin was sent to the bed of Ji Shubai, the God of Death, and squeezed for every last bit of value.
Then one day, a stunning twist in the truth about her and the God of Death turned her into someone no one could hope to reach. When the people of the General's Manor heard the news, they rushed to her and knelt before her, weeping and repenting for all they had done.
The general and his wife cried until they went blind, claiming they'd been deceived by villains. Her brothers carried thorny switches on their backs and punished themselves with fifty strokes each, begging her to forgive them. Her former fiance even kowtowed at every step, desperately hoping she'd look back at him.
Xie Qingyin gazed at them with clear eyes and a smile on her lips. "Who are you people?"
