Seduced Once, Never Again

In her previous life, Yingzhu was born in a brothel, yet by fortune entered the Marquis of Xuanping's household as the concubine of the heir, Xie Huaiying. The heir, seemingly kind and gentle, only wished for a peaceful life, but his wife, Lady Zhou, targeted Yingzhu, causing her to lose two children in succession. For revenge, Yingzhu fought Lady Zhou until both were ruined. But after Zhou's death, Yingzhu was framed as her murderer—only then did she realize it had all been Xie Huaiying's scheme, meant to conceal her true origins and protect the false daughter's place. Reborn, Yingzhu sought out Lady Zhou and revealed her husband's treachery. The two women joined hands, weaving a net of vengeance to make the shameless pair pay their blood debts. Later, Xie Huaiying tried to repeat his old tricks, coaxing her once again into becoming his concubine: "Ying'er, not until I met you did I learn what love truly was. I may not give you the title of wife, but I can give you my heart." Yingzhu sneered: "And how many coins is your heart worth?" From the shadows, Lady Zhou stepped forward, her face filled with disdain: "Not worth a single one."
