Chapter 1: Reborn in the Bridal Sedan Chair
The sedan chair rhythmically swayed gently, accompanied by the sounds of joy, laughter, and lively chatter from the bridal procession. Mrs. Xi's smooth and auspicious words rang in Sang Wan's ears as she gently lifted her red veil and saw the bright red surroundings. She finally confirmed that she was indeed in a red bridal sedan chair on her way to get married.
She gently raised her hands and observed them, the skin was fair and delicate, the nails full and lustrous, her fingers slender and long, and the palms small and exquisite. These were the hands she once had.
She was reborn.
Her initial panic gradually subsided, and at this moment, she had completely calmed down and accepted this fact.
Reborn, would she have to go through that withered, desperate life again? Sang Wan couldn't help but shiver, her nails digging into her palms subconsciously, feeling an icy chill!
No, she didn't want to relive that bleak, desperate, and unbearable life.
Sang Wan clenched her fists tightly, holding back the urge to lift the sedan curtain.
She knew that just beyond the thin curtain, there was a handsome man dressed in a red wedding outfit, adorned with red silk flowers, and riding a tall horse alongside the bridal sedan chair. He was her husband, Shi Fengju, the eldest legitimate son of the Shi family, the richest family in Qingzhou. They had never met in this life but had been together for four years in her past life.
Thinking of her husband, Sang Wan's heart grew colder, and an indescribable feeling of sorrow gradually spread from the bottom of her heart, gripping her reason tightly. She could hardly breathe.
Once, she had stepped into the Shi family with sweet dreams and longing, but what welcomed her were a series of strikes and blows, forcing her to the brink of despair.
Her parents had died early, and her family was in decline. Marrying into the richest family in Qingzhou, she felt nervous besides the longing.
She was truly afraid! Afraid of being looked down upon by her mother-in-law, husband, and sister-in-law, despised by the family servants, ridiculed for her lack of experience, and more.
