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

"Will the He Family return the dowry or not?"


The money, for sure, won't be returned, and the goods have already been taken by Xia Chuyi.


Xia Lan looked up at Xia Chuyi in alarm.


Xia Chuyi's mouth was slightly upturned, and she said nothing.


Seeing her silence, Xia Lan had no choice but to make up a lie, "The He Family said the gifts were exchanged between the families and need not be returned, just consider them as the betrothal gifts and dowry."


It was understood that were she to marry into the He Family, there would be no need for additional dowry preparations.


Of course, there was no need to prepare one, for she and He Qing had already consummated the relationship. Would the He Family dare demand a dowry and not fear Xia Lan accusing He Qing of a crime, ruining his future?


Xia Lan smoothed over the issue with a single sentence, yet she did not see Xia Mei's eyes light up.
