The Double
"Moist Clouds and Ink Rain" by Xue Fangfei, Jiang Li, and Xiao Heng - Original Novel
The Lady of Xue Family, unparalleled in both beauty and talent, married her ideal gentleman. They lived in harmonious and loving companionship for three years, during which her husband achieved the rank of top scholar.
But while the husband's fame rose, his wife's status did not. His craving for titles and wealth led him to seek the position as Prince Consort, and he saw her as a stumbling stone on his path to marrying the princess—so he killed his wife and wiped out his line.
The arrogant princess stood in front of her ruins and mocked, "Even if you are exceptionally beautiful and learned, you are ultimately just a lowly official's daughter. Crushing you to death is as easy for me as crushing an ant!"
Her reputation tarnished, she took her own life by hanging. Her younger brother, seeking justice, was killed by the powerful, and her elderly father, upon hearing the tragic news, fell ill and departed from this world.
In the forty-second year of Hongxiao, Yanjing's number one beauty, Xue Fangfei, met her untimely end, only to be reborn in the body of the drowned Chief Minister's daughter, Jiang Li!
She stepped into the household of high society, where dark and sordid secrets were ceaseless. She confronted all manner of evil spirits and demons, giving as good as she got.
Once tender-hearted, she was now as sharp as a knife's edge! Jiang Li vowed never again to be trampled upon like a speck of dust. In this life, she would redress the injustices of her family and avenge the blood-debt of deep hatred!
He was the youngest Duke of Northern Yan—arrogantly beautiful, fickle in temper, collecting the world's strangest flora within his estate.
Everyone said that the Second Miss of the Jiang Family was ethereally charming, virtuous, and as pure and kind as a white Lotus Flower.
Dressed in resplendent red, he asked with a smile, "White Lotus Flower? She's clearly a Man-eating Flower that devours without spitting out bones."
Jiang Li, "Duke, be careful not to break your hand."
Jih Heng, "Such a ferocious Man-eating Flower is, of course, to be snatched up and brought back to my estate to guard it." Arrogantly beautiful man vs. noble daughter, a bewitching male lead and a white lotus flower heroine, join forces, tormenting the whole world. Are you scared yet?

I wanted to leave a review of this story (despite having only completed 17 chapters thus far) to tempt others to try this novel. I was immediately impressed by the delicate maturity of the writing that was not only grammatically accurate but comfortably descriptive. It guides your imagination into an ancient setting to meet new characters without getting bogged down with information overload of scores of new characters and their extended familial history. I appreciated the balance of narrative flow and descriptive cues for settings and people. On top of writing style, I really like the FL, Xue Fangfei/Jiang Li. Having faced complete betrayal, this reborn young woman has become forged in the fires of that pain. It’s like the reader gets to cheer on the White Lotus for a change. Our FL is velvet over steel. She has retained her kindness (to those who are genuine and kind to her) and maturity, and has an outward appearance of calm serene gentleness. However, beneath that is the savvy of bitter experience and the chilling stillness of a viper sizing it’s prey. I like that very much. We have already had a peek at our ML too. Definitely not you average idle young man of wealth 😅. I can’t wait to see more between this pair. This is a book I will be keeping at the top of my ‘read now’ list. I will definitely be paying to unlock chapters and read on ✌🏻
can anyone please post raws for this novel ?...it is very good
