Summary: Jiang Li stole everything.


As a young lady, Ruoyao had learned the appearance of charity in public: magnanimity with her cousin, kindness to household servants. Behind closed doors, however, she ruled like a queen.

Until her sister returned from the mountain, all demure eyes and grasping fingers clawing at everything Ruoyao loved. Step by step, she stole Ruoyao’s ceremony, their father’s affection, Zhou Yanbang’s attention.

Now this: her old guqin. Ruoyao had poured her heart into music; when nothing else soothed her, it was there. It was hers.

No more. Her sister would take it, as she took everything.

Unless Ruoyao stole it back.
