Why rush through life? I've heard that flowers bloom in all four seasons in Jiangnan, unlike the snow-covered mountains of the North where the wind dances like silver snakes.
There are countless beautiful things in this world; how fortunate it would be to have even one of them...
(A satisfying story of power struggles within a wealthy family + a ruthless female protagonist + revenge and slapping of scumbags)
Qu Ling was framed by her stepmother and left the Marquis's mansion for six years.
Returning to Beijing did not bring her good days; instead, it drove her step by step to madness.
In the end, she went mad, killed everyone in the Marquis's mansion, and lost her own life in the process.
After coming back to life, Qu Ling took the knife in her hand. She was no longer insane, and she still slaughtered the entire Marquis's mansion.
——
In her previous life, Qu Ling was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. Chi Yuan firmly believed that she had her reasons and insisted on overturning her case.
When she died, the pity, reluctance, and heartache in Chi Yuan's eyes were like a guiding light, leading her across the sea of suffering.
Reborn into this life, Qu Ling wields a knife and proceeds cautiously, settling all scores with the grudges of her past life.
She stood before Chi Yuan and said, "If you marry me, no one will be able to take the position of heir apparent from you."
She finished killing the people in the Dingxiang Marquis's mansion; the Jingwei Marquis's mansion was just a side job.
