In the month of June, snow flies and blood flows into rivers.

　　The heads of 273 members of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's residence rolled to the ground in an instant, unavenged in death.

　　Blood stained the entire vegetable market.

　　"Elder sister!"...

　　I abruptly woke up, my whole body drenched in cold sweat.

　　Once again, I had dreamed of my past life.

　　I am the second miss of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's residence, Ye Jingzhao.

　　When my father named me, he hoped that I would make a name for myself in the capital and be distinguished in appearance.

　　Unfortunately, I grew up to be a useless person.

　　On the other hand, my elder sister, Ye Yuwei, became a remarkable woman in the eyes of the world.

　　She could compose poetry in three steps, play music in seven steps, and at the age of twelve, she took command of our father's 200,000 troops, traversing the world alone and pioneering the path for women in our dynasty to inherit noble titles.

　　But even such an outstanding person as her...

　　in the past life, she was deceived by Mu Junze and publicly beheaded.

　　I, too, was degraded to being a slave, wandering the borderlands, and our family was destroyed.

　　Now that I have been given a second chance, I am determined to protect my family and make him pay for his blood debt! Before I could gather my thoughts, a servant came to report, "Miss, the young lady has returned from her expedition." I eagerly rushed to the front hall, only to find that my elder sister had been waiting for a while, and there was an injured man beside her.

　　I immediately had a sense of foreboding.

　　"Jingzhao, His Highness suffered a serious injury while saving me and is currently unfit to return to the capital.

　　He will be staying in our residence for some time." After my elder sister finished speaking, the man coughed in response.

　　"Second Miss, I look forward to your guidance in the future." As I looked at Mu Junze's familiar face, I felt a moment of confusion.

　　Could it be that no matter how many times I go back, there are some things that cannot be changed? Suppressing my thoughts, I calmly said, "Your Highness, with your esteemed status, I'm afraid it would be difficult to adapt to life in Qinzhou." "Moreover, Your Highness is an outsider, and my elder sister has not yet married.

　　It is not appropriate according to reason.

　　If our parents were to find out, they would definitely not approve." My elder sister chuckled, "I often get injured on the battlefield, and the military doctor is also a man.

　　We inevitably have close contact.

　　According to your logic, am I destined to never get married?" "It's not the same.

　　How can the battlefield be compared to now?" I argued.

　　Mu Junze interjected, "It is said that the second miss of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's residence is broad-minded and different from ordinary women.

　　I didn't expect that today, you would also be bound by these rigid rules." With a mocking tone, he continued, "Yuyu, I know your feelings.

　　But since the second miss doesn't welcome me as an outsider, I will leave." Faced with his departing figure, I held onto my elder sister's hand to prevent her from being swayed.

　　Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Mu Junze collapsed in front of us.

　　My elder sister finally grew angry and immediately let go of my hand.

　　"Junze, are you alright?" She anxiously called his name and sternly said to me, "Today, he must stay in our residence.

　　Your opposition is useless." "But he is Mu Junze.

　　I have told you many times, he is not..." "Enough!" My elder sister coldly interrupted.

　　"Ye Jingzhao, stop suspecting others based on your own twisted mind.

　　I believe him!"

　　"My father has already handed over two hundred thousand soldiers to me.

　　Now the Houshou is under my control, and it's not your turn, you useless wastrel!" She supported Mujunze and left.

　　As we brushed past each other, Mujunze flashed a provocative smile at me.

　　I just calmly looked back.

　　In the past, if I heard my elder sister say such hurtful words, I would have been upset and unable to sleep all night.

　　But I no longer expect that.

　　For her, love is enough to quench her thirst, and family is just an obstacle.

　　But this time, I will no longer do as they wish!
