Having been reborn, a blood red lotus flower appeared on my shoulder, bright and beautiful, warning me that this time I must live a colorful life.

I must repay all those grudges and wrongs, the Shen and Tao families have shown me "kindness," I must repay it with "color."

Right now is the time of my great marriage, the most urgent matter is to annul the engagement with Tao Peiyuan, and no longer get involved with the dirty water of the Tao family.

I went to the front of the Grand Madam, and for the first time, I firmly refused:

"The Tao family is declining, already declining. Mrs. Tao is harsh, with no decent reputation outside. The young master Tao is also incompetent, spending his days in the pleasure quarters. Tao Peiyuan is by no means a suitable match, the daughter cannot marry into the Tao family..."

I unexpectedly reasoned and argued, speaking these words, not only did it amaze me, but it also startled the Grand Madam.

She glared, looked me up and down, as if I had become a different person. Then, out of nowhere, a slap struck my face:

"You little wench, have I fed you too much? Fattened your heart and courage, daring to shout at me like this. In matters of marriage, since ancient times it is the command of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, it's not up to you to decide. This marriage with the Tao family has been arranged by me, you will marry if we say so, you will marry even if you don't want to."

Sure enough, after being reborn, everything remained the same.

I naively thought that protesting and resisting could change fate, it's really ridiculous.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of my bleeding mouth, laughing at my own foolishness for reasoning with the Grand Madam, and also laughing at the fact that the Grand Madam still saw me as a lamb that could be slaughtered at her will.

I planned how to cancel the marriage with the Tao family, and coincidentally overheard the maids discussing the marriage of my sister, Shen Anrong.

It turned out there was a big difference between the main and branch families, Daddy wanted to arrange a marriage between Anrong and the second son of the Xue family, Xue Huaiyi.

"I've heard that the second son of the Xue family is tall and mighty, with an imposing appearance, and he's also skilled in martial arts. At a young age, he's already been appointed as a general, personally granted a mansion by the Emperor."

"Second Miss is really lucky, betrothed to the second son of the Xue family, once married she'll be the mistress of the house, and won't have to bow to the mother-in-law every morning, isn't that happy."

...

After hearing this, I couldn't help but recall.

In my previous life, Daddy wanted to arrange the marriage of Anrong and Xue Erlang, hoping to use the Xue family's prestige in the military to assist his own promotion, but for some reason, this marriage did not come to pass.

If Anrong couldn't make it, maybe I could!

If I could marry Xue Erlang and become the wife of a general, not only could I escape from this cage-like mansion, but I could also gain some assistance in seeking revenge and redressing grievances.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind to do it.
