Demon Painting

In her past life, Xia Chu lost her virginity before marriage and was scorned by her family as a wanton woman, forced to marry an old widower with a limp. Her aunt and mother died one after another because of her. Fleeing alone to the south to work, she suffered a hard life and eventually died tragically at the hands of a scoundrel. 
Reborn, she is determined to protect those who love her and those she loves, to rewrite destiny. Those who framed her, she will make them suffer the consequences; those who forced her, she will make them kneel and beg for mercy; and those who killed her, she will make them wish they were dead!
By the way, that tall, stoic man with good looks, loyalty, and skills, I might as well marry you since you’ve got it all.

After Marrying the Officer

Behind the guesthouse's rear wall, under the dim light.


Xia Chuyi stood with her hands stuffed in her pockets, standing straight, gazing at a certain window on the first floor of the guesthouse.


The curtain of that window was pulled tight, with just a dribble of sickly yellow light seeping through.


Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from inside the room as the curtain was yanked open, and a figure hurriedly scrambled out of the windowsill.


No sooner had the person tumbled out than they came face to face with Xia Chuyi.


Xia Chuyi regarded the person before her with cool detachment.


Perhaps in too great a haste to escape, He Qing hadn't even put on his coat, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were in disarray.


"He Qing, what are you doing out so late? What made you interested in sneaking out of my sister's room?" Xia Chuyi's tone was especially neutral, indifferent as if discussing the cold weather or a rising wind.
