Chapter 1: The Return of the Heiress (1)
Mia Ginger looked at her face in the mirror.
Very young, her meticulously trimmed willow eyebrows slightly arched, the curve gentle, like spring mountains adorned with greenery, enhancing the allure of the almond eyes below, clear and bright, brimming with emotion.
Her nose was straight and delicate, like a finely crafted piece of art, lips slightly pursed, rosy and glossy.
She knew from a young age that she was pretty, but this was the first time she gazed at and examined her appearance so earnestly from such a clean, bright mirror.
Originally, this should have been her at nineteen, the eldest Miss of the Ginger Family.
Not the Mia ginger who wandered the muddy alleys since childhood, nor the Mia Ginger who fought with boys over a few bucks, or the Mia Ginger who even had to worry about rats climbing onto her bed as she slept.
She should have been a pampered princess, just like this room at present, crystal lamps, princess bed, floor-to-ceiling windows, vintage carved mirror...
Everywhere exuded elegance and dignity.
She looked at the girl in the mirror, both familiar and unfamiliar, her eyes welling with tears, a smile resting at the corners of her lips.
