I am Cui Yin, the eldest daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites.
I was raised in my maternal grandparents’ home since I was a child.
When I was seventeen, they brought me back to the capital, each of them appearing kind and benevolent.
But in private, my grandmother was indifferent, my father despised me, and my Stepmother Su hid a dagger behind her smile.
My older brother, born of the same mother, warned me, “Cui Yin, you must know your place and behave yourself. Otherwise, I will not show you any mercy.”
My innocent and romantic younger sister said with a beaming smile, “Sister, you grew up in a rural manor, and the clothes you’re wearing are quite out of fashion. I’ve gathered a few pieces I no longer wear to give to you.”
They even planned to marry me off as a successor wife to a profligate from the Commandery Duke Manor, a man who had beaten his first wife to death. …
Before entering the capital, I had originally intended to hang myself.
It was my maid, Huaihua, who desperately clung to my legs.
“Miss! Miss, don’t die! People from the Cui Family of the Capital have arrived. Let’s go to the capital and find some fun!”
I am ill; I suffer from hysteria and have no interest in life.
When I lose my mind, I only find pleasure through killing.
Well then, I hope they can bring me some joy.
