In her previous life, Song Tangning was the most pampered lady in the capital, but because of a concubine-born woman, she died at the hands of her own dear brother and her childhood fiancé. They took everything from her, destroyed her life, and raised the concubine-born woman like a shining sun while stepping on her like mud. Song Tangning was disfigured, had her legs broken, and was imprisoned in a dilapidated courtyard for years until she was strangled to death.... more>>

Upon her rebirth, Tangning vowed never to be that stepping stone again. Her cold-hearted and biased brother? She disowned him. Her cousin who loved the white lotus? She cut ties. Her indecisive fiancé? She broke off the engagement.

When the concubine-born woman’s true face was exposed, her brothers and ex-fiancé knelt before her, begging for forgiveness. Song Tangning remained indifferent: “Forgiveness? Hmph, I’d rather burn you to ashes and scatter them to the wind.”

She already had a new "brother"—although this new brother was a eunuch with a bad reputation, known for his cruelty and ruthlessness. Just the mention of "Chief Eunuch" could make children cry. Yet, when he called her "Little Begonia," his voice was as gentle as can be.

When Xiao Yan was first alone with Tangning, people whispered that it was inappropriate: "I am a eunuch," he said, "What propriety?"

Later, in a room filled with warm fragrance, Xiao Yan held the little girl whose eyes were flushed from drinking: "Little Begonia, your brother dotes on you."

Xie Yunyan’s methods strike like thunder—ruthless and without scruple—and the entire court trembles in fear at his reputation. In his eyes, there is no Son of Heaven and no nobility; in this world, the only person who can ever make him submit is none other than Yuanniang from the Su family.... more>>

“My Ah Yuan is unparalleled in both talent and beauty.”

“My Ah Yuan possesses a refined nature and a gentle heart.”

“My Ah Yuan is the treasure of our household; no one dares to mistreat her.”

When Su Jinyuan was reborn, the entire Xiao family was condemned, her betrothed perished on the battlefield, and the general’s household was left with only the adopted son, Xie Yunyan. She fought through thorns to protect the Xiao family, intending to leave quietly once they regained their former glory at Lingxiao. Yet she never expected to be pinned against a wall by a man whose eyes burned with passion.

“Ah Yuan, I’ll give you my love, my life, the entire world—you are the one I desire.” <<less
