The Xu Family has always been very generous to the original owner, sending her a large sum of money every year for living expenses. Indeed, her life was quite comfortable; at least she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. However, she could not compare with the noble ladies in the city.
Every time the original owner heard descriptions of the lives of the noble ladies in the Western Capital, her small heart would fill with both anger and jealousy.
The Xu Family did ensure her material comfort and gave her as much care as they could, yet they overlooked the deep-seated resentment that had accumulated in her heart since her mother's death. Such resentment could not be resolved with their limited companionship. Unbeknownst to the Xu Family, the original owner's nature was slowly twisting, growing more and more obsessive.
When she turned fifteen, Xu Guangyi called her back to the Western Capital, seeking to impose an arranged marriage with the Marquis Wushun's family upon her.
