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

"Little comrade, you eat this," the woman said to Xia Chuyi.


This was not wanting to take advantage without giving something in return.


Xia Chuyi smiled and did not refuse; the principle of reciprocity fosters mutual respect and avoids awkwardness for everyone.


The little boy was also considerate, he clambered up to the bedhead, dug around inside a small bundle, and finally pulled out a marble.


"Sister, this marble is for you," he offered, seemingly aware of manners too.


Unable to contain herself, Xia Chuyi chuckled and said, "Alright, sister will accept it." She took the marble with formality.


Then, pointing to the braised meat and steamed buns, she told the little boy, "Here you go, little friend, eat up."


"Mommy!" the boy excitedly looked at his mother.


With permission granted, the little boy, holding a chubby bun, took a big bite, contentedly munching away.


Through this give and take, Xia Chuyi and the woman really relaxed and got to know each other.
