[Exile and Farming] [Both Leads Reborn] [Emptying the Treasury] [Feel-Good Story] [Sweet Romance]
After her family was confiscated and exiled in her previous life, Zhao Yushu sacrificed herself for them, making a deal with the devil. In the end, she died horribly at the hands of the very family she had protected.
Reborn into a new life, Zhao Yushu swore she would never meddle in other people's affairs again. All she wanted was to live peacefully to a ripe old age with her birth mother.
The confiscation of her family’s property was still unavoidable. But this time, Zhao Yushu would no longer care about anyone else.
When the honey-tongued, treacherous First Madam fell gravely ill, Zhao Yushu wept in public and cried, “Mother, you mustn’t let anything happen to you! I wish I could take your place.”
In private, she secretly slipped some pills to her birth mother. “The weather’s getting colder, and the journey into exile will be hard. You’re frail, so take these in advance.”
When her arrogant, overbearing Third Younger Brother offended a powerful person and was thrown into prison, Zhao Yushu continued to dab her eyes and clutch her chest. “Little Brother, how could you be so foolish? I hate that I didn’t keep a closer eye on you.”
In private, she lectured the hidden guards she had secretly gathered. “What are you all good for? You had such a perfect opportunity. Why didn’t you break his legs?”
Her Second Older Sister, who had bullied her every day, caught the eye of a thug. Zhao Yushu covered her lips in feigned shock.
“How could Second Sister have gotten involved with that scoundrel? The First Madam always says that flies don’t gather around a flawless egg. I suppose Second Sister must have been behaving improperly in private...”
Before she could finish, the First Madam lunged at her with claw-like nails. “Don’t you dare slander my daughter, you wretched girl! I’ll trade you for her!”
But before the First Madam could reach her, a line of hidden guards appeared and stood protectively around Zhao Yushu, their faces cold.
“Don’t you dare hurt our Princess Consort!”
Zhao Yushu: Huh? What’s going on? She hadn’t had anything to do with that heartless man in this life!
