In her previous life, she had accidentally saved the heir to the Marquis of Ningyang, and he wouldn't leave her alone.
She married into the Marquis of Ningyang's household, while her legitimate elder sister married Prince Rui.
Her sister became a princess consort and thought she had always kept her younger sister beneath her heel.
But Prince Rui was deeply poisoned and had little time left. Her elder sister was widowed before long.
Meanwhile, the marquis's household, which should have fallen into decline, prospered as the heir won the Crown Prince's favor and swiftly advanced in his career. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he rose to the highest ranks of court. She became the First Secretary's wife, and thought she could spend her life with him in mutual respect.
Who could have guessed that the husband who had never touched her in their six years of marriage was having an affair with her elder sister?
Her scoundrel husband said, “I've always loved Yun Xian. She should be the First Secretary's wife.”
Her elder sister sneered. “Little sister, you were born a bringer of misfortune. How could you deserve a better life than me?”
Her biased parents said, “You should give your place to your sister.”
She was kept locked away in the inner quarters for ten years, watching her husband and elder sister dote on each other while she was disfigured, poisoned into silence, and had her bones broken and muscles torn before dying full of resentment.
Reborn, Su Jin decisively chose to marry Prince Rui instead, leaving the wretched man and woman to each other.
Though called a bringer of misfortune, Su Jin was blessed with good fortune at every turn. Becoming a princess consort, then the Crown Princess, and finally the most honored woman in the realm was a breeze.
Her scoundrel husband and elder sister dropped to their knees and begged for mercy, while her parents were consumed by regret.
The man behind her kicked them all away. “Who said you could pollute her eyes?”
