Can someone please help me give a summaries and spoiler of this novel... Especially on her revenge against her step mom, about her mother and shipping aka love story in this novel...
It's already being discussed in the "novel discussion" section. But just to answer your questions.... Spoiler: Stepmom From the already translated part, we already know that Du shi was detained in some isolated place after she was found out plotting to kidnap Wei Luo. Afterwards, she gave birth to a baby boy. Right after she gave birth, Wei Kun (Wei Luo's father) gave the baby to fourth aunt to be adopted. From then on, Du shi stayed in those isolated place and only allowed to meet with the son once a month. Wei Zheng tried to take the baby boy to give it to her mother, but because she was still small, she didn't know how to hold baby properly, so the baby kept crying, she got scared of the baby, and the baby remembered her uncomfortable hug, so everytime WZ came close, he would cry. At first, Wei Luo disliked the stepbrother (she generally disliked baby), but then she thought that if Du shi & WZ saw her being very close to stepbrother, they would be annoyed to death. So WL bear it and tried to get close to the step brother. Later stepbrother would disliked and afraid of Du shi, bc in the once a month meeting with Du shi, all that she did was crying and badmouthing WL and 4th aunt. The stepbrother became very close to WL and already regarded 4th aunt as his own mother (he called 4th aunt, mother). Anyway, later on, when WL is about 14 y.o., WZ liked WL's fiance (Song Hui), so she tried to sabotage the relationship. At this moment, the engagement was already broken, but still unknown to the public (only the parents, WL and SH, and our male lead knew), hence WZ also didn't know. Anyway when SH was drunk, and he was told by WZ's maid, that WL was ill. He wanted to visit her, but thought that since they'd broken the engagement, it would be improper, so luckily for him, he changed his mind right in front of the door (The day before, the WZ asked WL to switch the room, so the one in the room was WZ, the step sister). WZ laced the room with aphrodisiac smoke. Li Song, the one who once sank Chang Hong into the pond, overheard the conversation between the maid and SH (at this moment, LS had realised that he's in love with WL.) So he entered the room with intention of checking WL's condition, only to be affected with the aphrodisiac. LS had sex with WZ, thinking she was WL. In the morning, the maid found out and begged WL to helped WZ. After being reported to the grandparents and WK, LS and WZ was forced to marry. But LS only agreed to marry her if the household matter still being managed by LS's mother (so WZ was only wife in name), WZ didn't know about this deal. Also LS's whole family hated her bc the manner in which she married in. On the night of the marriage, LS bought a bunch of his unruly friends and gave WZ to them to be raped. From that day on, LS never touched her but forced her to have sex with various guy. Meanwhile, WK had a talk with Jiang Miao Lan (WL's biological mother) and found out about Du shi's deception that JML made run away. So he divorced her (stating in the divorce letter that she is malicious, very jealous, etc) and sent Du shi back to her household. After sometimes, WZ unable to bear it anymore, hang herself. Du shi was seen crying on her coffin. That was the last of Du shi's appearance. Spoiler: Wei Luo's mother WL's mother was an orphan (JML). JML and WK met and felt in love, after they had managed to convince WK's parents, they got married. But WK's 3rd bro also liked JML. 3rd aunt found out and got very jealous, so she and Du shi schemed to get rid of JML. Du shi, using aphrodisiac manage to duped WK into thinking that he slept with her, and then she lied to JML that she was pregnant. So JML ran away and left the twins. Since WK thought that the twins would need mother, he married Du shi. Spoiler: The Shipping There's only one love interest = Zhao Jie, WL never got closed to any other male. Toward SH, she only took him as brother and toward LS, from the beginning to the end, she hated him. There's not much progression when WL was still small, ZJ only helped her once a while and then there's a time skip about 3 years. (ZJ was sent to some rural area to solve a problem there for 3 years). From there the romance speed up. They met in some temple, where WL then got her first period. Then when he thought she was asleep, he kissed her. WL avoided him since, then after they manage to meet again, ZJ made WL to promised him to think about her feeling toward him. Three months after, ZJ got back after being sent again to some region. He got back heavily injured by some assassin. His sister (Zhao Liuli), took WL to meet him. Then WL realised that she liked ZJ. She promised to break her engagement with SH. But ZJ secretly blackmailed SH's father too, so SH had to agree (initially SH didn't want to break it, even though WL told him that she had someone else). But then ZJ still had to wait bc of the problem with WZ and LS (WL told him, if he proposed near those time, WK was still in bad mood, so WK probably would reject it). Then a few day before WL and CH's birthday, WL was looking for CH's birthday present when she saw -what I think to be- a jade coronet. She bought it to be given to ZJ, but CH saw those present. (initially he though WL would gave it to SH - since the matter of broken engagement still hasn't announced). Later CH saw ZJ wore it, and he found out about their relationship. So the day after then, ZJ went to WL's house to propose. That day, both the grandpa and WK weren't at home, so ZJ come back 3 days later. The empress also come to propose (so they couldn't reject it even if they wanted to), she came bc she was very happy that at least ZJ had interest in some girl. Then after some bargaining, they agreed that the marriage would happen 1 year later (after WL came to age -15 y.o.). From that time, almost nothing happened, bc CH would hinder the meeting between ZJ and WL. A few day before marriage though, WL and ZJ was together fitting for WL's wedding dress when she met JML.
LoL, your question was hidden in the quotes.... Spoiler: meeting with WL's Mother WL first met her mother (JML) when she went to the temple together with her friend (who liked her eldest cousin) and CH (her twin brother). CH waited on the outside while WL and her friend asked for some temple's charms. WL bumped with JML on the way out, her friend recognised that JML looked very similar to WL, but WL denied it. JML was about to enter the temple but she doesn't, she went back and asked her driver to follow WL's carriage. She followed WL until in front of WL's residence, as she was about to leave, WL's father (WK) saw her and run after her carriage, she didn't want to stop, but WK asked his bodyguard to follow the carriage secretly to find out where JML was living now. WL was fitting for her wedding dress and ZJ sneakily met her (WL had been stopped by CH for the past few days from meeting ZJ). On they way out, WL (they were from the upper floor) saw JML and a man (JML's new husband) at the lower floor, WL was about ignore them when WL's father (WK) came to confront JML. WL and ZJ greeted WK but ignored JML and her husband. WL hurriedly wanted to leave, but just it was rained outside. WL still persistently walked through the rain to her carriage. Just before WL entered, JML called her "my baby". WL still ignored her, JML intercepted WL, WL asked JML who is she. JML told WL that she was her mother. But WL told her that her mother had long dead. JML asked WL whether WL hated her, but WL still acted like she didn't knew JML, and told JML, when she was small, other people was accompanied by their mother when they was ill. But when she was ill, only WK and CH accompanied her, right at that moment, she knew that she didn't have mother, only father and brother. Then WL left. WK still there and demanded an explanation. After hearing the explanation from JML. WK went home, divorced the stepmom (Du) and cut his ties with the third uncle. Then WL met JML once again, when she already married to ZJ. It was the 3rd days and she went back to her old house to greet her elder. When they went back, they wanted to stop by the market first... CH was also with them (CH was riding horse, while WL and ZJ was in carriage), they crossed path with JML's carriage. JML was ashamed so she wanted to avoid them, but JML's husband stopped WL et al. JML's husband was a skilled physician who was able to cured WL's eldest cousin brother's feet. He told WL that he had sth to say pertaining the cousin brother. ZJ also prompted her to talk, so WL reluctantly agreed. After they sit together, WL directly asked JML about her reason for leaving. After JML told her, WL asked CH if he still had any more question, but CH didn't have any, so she told them that she was leaving. JML was about to asked her forgiveness, but WL told her that she wasn't there when Du had wanted to sold her, the 3rd aunt had poisoned her, or when CH was almost died of drowning, so now that they had grown up and didn't need a mother, JML better stayed away. WL remembered that in her past life, even when she died, or when CH was ruined, JML never once appeared. JML cried as both of her children left. That was the last of JML's appearance. Note: On the outside of the temple, CH also saw JML and recognised who she was, but he also chose to ignore her.
If you're curious about the ending, there's kind of two? I mean there technically is a "end" end (both endings are HE), but before the actual ending, there was two weird chapter that happened before it that looked like a strange alternate ending? (imo) But it did slightly contribute to the real ending, The spoilers below is going to basically be summary spoilers so read if you really want to know! Spoiler: back in the past Li Song wakes up in his former home 6-7 years before his current lifetime (he died in his previous life (aka Wei Luo's current life) via avalanche). He originally thought he was dreaming until his former servant went to wake him up, making him realize this was too real to be a dream. He meets with his sister (Li Xiang) again where she hands him a bottle telling him that she doesn't want to marry Wei Changhong, so this was the only way out. Mentioning Wei Changhong name reminds him of his feelings (love) towards Wei Luo. At this point, he was unsure what to do with himself due to mix feelings. Li Song decided to hang out with his friends from his former life but just sat around without really doing much. Suddenly, Wei Changhong showed up (this is before he got all messed up from Li Xiang and Li Song ruining his life). Li Song then destroys the poison that his sister gave him earlier in front of Wei Changhong with his bare hands to the point where it was bleeding then proceeds telling him that his sister would probably stab a hole into him if he did anything funny to Wei Changhong. Wei Changchong then left the room which confused Li Song. His friends all looked at him funny askng if he was crazy because Wei Luo died 10 years ago which gave a big shock to Li Song. They continue to tell him that Wei Changhong currently only has one sister named Wei Zheng. Li Song thought it was impossible for Wei Luo to die, then had a flashback when she pushed him into the water when she was 6, teased him when she was 7, and when they were 15, she was with the prince. He was in denial of her death, then left his friends. Li Song then had a investigation about what happened to Wei Luo. He was then told about when she was 6, she went out with his step mother and was kidnapped and never found. It was a incident that happen so long ago, nearly everyone forgot Wei Luo. He thought he would of been able to see her again after being reborn, but his hopes were now crushed. He covered his face not wanting anyone to see it. Wei Changhong and Li Xiang's wedding was coming close. On his way leaving the prime ministers home, he noticed a shadow. He took a double take because he thought he saw an illusion. He told his carriage to stop and kept staring at the corner where the shadow had left. Li Song's heart felt it no longer had meaning, that it was empty. A timid girl appeared in front of his eyes. It was Wei Luo. (This is back in the past before Wei Luo was recaptured by Madam Du (stepmom) and Wei Zheng. When she asked if he knew her, his body trembled. He realized that although she was Wei Luo, she was different from the Wei Luo he knows. Before he could say anything, he heard a old womans voice questioning how could the prime minster see the girl (Wei Luo) because she thought Wei Luo was a poor girl trying to climb her way into the prime minster's home. Wei Luo was able to get out of Li Songs grasp and ran away. The old men then proceeds telling him that the wife of the minster told her to not allow Wei Luo (she apparently showed up multiple times but they keep rejecting her). He saw no sign of Wei Luo then recalled what the old woman then punched the wall in anger. He went home and held an investigation to the kidnapping of Wei Luo. There was no update, but he had spies to watch over Wei Luo's Madam Du's actions. Li was thinking how this world was a bit different from his because of how Wei Luo was not at the prime minsters home and how Li Xiang and Wei Changhong was actually engaged. Although he came to the prime minsters home as a detour, he never found Wei Luo. During a dense rain, he decided to look around the alley he had previously seen her, and once again found her while looking like a abandoned cat. He recalled back then, Wei Luo always looked pround, but compared to the other world, she looked lonely and weak, simply pitiful. Li Song then grabbed her wrist, and handed a umbrella over her head, noticing that her wrist turned red from the place he grabbed. He was scared of her running away. He tells her to follow him but since she was unfamiliar with him, she wanted to run away. He calls her name which made her confused and asked who he was. He was startled and realized that she didn't know him in this lifetime, so how could she easily follow him? He then tells her his name, with his voice getting lower and lower, informed her that he had been looking for her for a long time. She asked why would he be looking for her? While looking at her birthmark that he remembers seeing when she was a child, he tells her that he can help her return back to her original home. Li Song then goes home to get new clothes for Wei Luo, how could he suddenly bring home a girl to his home? He lets Wei Luo stay at another home which he had previously bought but rarely went to. He only came there when he was drunk and wanted to sleep. His entire family has no idea of the place. After Wei Luo took a shower, she asked how he was going to help her. He then tells her that his sister and her brother are going to get married. Wei Luo turned stiff and wondered if her brother will even remember her cause in this life, she was never able to see him again (in the other world, she was able to gain access to be with Wei Changhong). He then tells her that his sister didn't want to marry Wei Changhong and mentions her stepmothers misconducts. Wei Luo asked how he knew about her stepmothers behavior and about her. He responds with how he knows everything about her (LOL). As Wei Luo dries her hair, Li Song takes out ointment to put on her wrist. Seeing how thin it was, it looked like it can easily break, which surprised him questioning how previously. Spoiler she was able to stabbed his chest with a hairpin When she called out his name, he recalled in the past, she would say his name with disgust and hate in her eyes. Now she looked pure and clear, curiously with doubt. He held her hand tightly and pressured her onto his bed. While having her in his arm, he started at her for a long time then began biting her small ear. Wei Luo got angry and yelled at him to let her go. He then bit her earlobe harder which made Wei Luo cry tears of pain. He then tells her that he'll help her handle Madam Du, return her home, and will have her be married to him. She asked him why, but he asked her why not? Wei Luo escaped his grasp and told him that she was going to leave. While thinking, she was able to calm down, but was curious why Li Song wanted to marry her, how did he suddenly fancy her? In his eyes, she can see that he both loves and hates her, but more love than hate which confuses her how he can feel like this after only meeting her twice. She thank him for everything she had done for him, but she must leave. Li Song held her on his bed and began kissing her, not allowing her to speak, then slowly and gently began kissing her, asking her how will she thank him? She tells him she'll go to a Buddhist temple and light incense for him, letting Buddha bless him (LOL). Later, his investigation found that Wei Luo's stepmother sent people to find Wei Luo and her involvement with Wei Luo's disappearance from the prime minister home. He then remembered that Li Xiang was suppose to marry Wei Changhong. If they were to wed, he wouldn't be able to marry Wei Luo. Li Song didn't think that when he came back, Wei Luo would have already left. The next day, he went to the prime ministers home, thinking how she can't return home, where would she go? He then recalled Wei Luo's step mother had people looking for Wei Lup. Immediately, he had people gather guards to look for Wei Luo in the city. Him and his guards then found Wei Luo tied up in a chair with Wei Zheng in front of her, holding a dagger. She lectures Wei Luo how this was no longer her home, their dad doesn't even care about her. She then lifted the dagger asking if she ruined her face, would their dad recognize her? Li Song took the dagger away from Wei Zhengs hand and had his guards capture Wei Zheng and her step mother. Spoiler: Wei Zheng and Madam Du's fate After saving Wei Luo, Li Song looked at Wei Zheng and her step mom while proceeding to pick up the dagger. He hands it to his body guard then tells them to damage their faces. Wei Zheng threaten him asking if the prime minister would let this go. He asked why would he be afraid? As he takes Wei Luo to another room, they can hear Wei Zheng and her mothers cries. Li Song told Wei Luo that he will expose the truth of what happen with witnesses and will have her return to her home in time for Li Xiang and Wei Changhong's marriage. He asked if she had a place to stay, but she tells him no. He got a carriage to send Wei Luo back to his other house, then turned to walk away. Wei Luo stood in front of the carriage while looking at Li Song's back, thinking that it looked rather lonely. Wei Luo slowly approached Li Song and suddenly held his hand. She asked him since he helped her do these things, wasn't there suppose to be a condition? She can promise him to fulfill the condition. He then held Wei Luo's arms tightly, with a fierce threat saying that she can no longer regret because it's too late. Spoiler: The End Zhao Jie (ML) woke up from a dream, but to him it was more like a nightmare. He had his servant come in, asking about the queen. The servant informs him that the queen was in the garden accompanying the prince and princess. In his dream, he and Wei Luo never met. Madm Du sold Wei Luo but finally was able to escape after being nearly kidnapped, her foster father and mother nearly had her marry a ghost, and she met Li Song embracing and ended up marrying her. The dream felt so real, Zhao Jie felt agitated. He felt exhausted and angry. He then had his people investigate the whereabouts of Li Song. He wanted to know where he was. The guards were confused because Li Song's name hasn't been mentioned in a long time, it had been forgotten. He then went to the garden because he was enxious to see Wei Luo and wanted to hold her in his arms. Wei Luo was sitting in the garden while holding her daughter (she's just a 1 yr old baby) who had a similar face to Wei Luo. Wei Luo was eating lychee's while her son, Zhao Xi(?) was playing with a multiple locks (ex: luban lock). Zhao Xi then asked if when he grows up to be powerful like his dad, will Wei Luo let him hug his sister? Of course, Wei Luo agrees. He then asks if he can pick up ripen grapes for her to eat. Wei Luo warned him not to pick up too much because it'll be harmful to his sister. Zhao Xi saw his father, he knows in front of Wei Luo he spoilers her, but in front of him he leaves out a strong presence. He knows he can't be too affectionate with his mother because whenever he does, Zhao Jie would look at him coldy which baffled him. He later found out why, it was because when he was born, Wei Luo always held him and looked only at him which cause Zhao Jie great jealousy. Zhao Jie found out Zhao Xi was going to give his sisters grades, he warns her not to give her too much because she'll get sick Spoiler: past incident he recalls how he did that to Wei Luo and she got diarreha and vomited while being unable to leave her bed for days. Zhao Jie went by Wei Luos side and held her, she noticed that he seemed strange so she asked whats wrong. He whispered if he didn't marry her, would she marry Li Song instead? She was surprised. He held her tighter. Wei Luo asked why would he ask that. He went silent and told her about the dream he had. Wei Luo was surprise because she didn't think he'd dream of her past life. Nearly everything was the same. She then held Zhao Jie's waist and told him she also had a dream and if he wanted to hear about it. She tells him her version of what happened, but she did not encounter Li Song nor did she marry of him. She died and Wei Changhong's future was ruined. Then Zhao Jie recalled back then when Wei Luo was 7 when she took him to the previous village she lived in with her foster parents. She told him she wanted to go see to confirm whether the dream was real or not. She then proceeds telling him how can he think of the dream seriously? She married him, gave birth to their children, and plans to follow him for the rest of her life. She will have no other. Zhao Jie presses his forehead onto hers and tells her that her next life and the one after will belong to him.
Li Song is Zhao Jie's cousin because his father married a princess and had him and his sis. Li Song and his sister ruined/cripped(?) Wei Changhong's life in Wei Luo's previous life (main reason why she has a deep hatred against them), simply because his sister didn't want to marry him. In Wei Luo's current life, she was able to stop the events leading off to them getting engaged. In Li Song's new life, he didn't give Wei Changhong the poison. He destroyed it with his own hands.
Oh right! Thank you, guys! I read the new chapters earlier and found out who he is. Hahaha! So there's a long longggg way to go before the romance of MC and ML?
Yeah it takes awhile mainly because of the MCs age and how she's technically already engaged. In her past life, her supposed fiancé became Wei Zheng's fiancé. Because of this, she doesn't hold any particular feelings toward her fiancé. Zhao Jie however develops his feelings for Wei Luo way sooner than she did for him.
I'd say near the end because after they got married, they had problems they had to go through. Spoiler ex: it was difficult for the MC to get pregnant along with some drama. There was stuff still happening afterwards.
