On the screen.
The narrative continues.
Jiang Yuyan entered the Shentu family's residence as an illegitimate daughter, but instead of a life of wealth and luxury, she was subjected to servitude and humiliation...
Laundry.
Washing dishes.
Cooking.
She had barely waited for lunch when the cruel maid by the lady of the house in front of her threw a bowl of plain noodles on the ground, looking down on her haughtily as she scavenged for food. Nobility doesn't subsist on charity, but it was the only food she had for the entire day. If she refused to eat for the sake of dignity, she might starve to death.
...
Forced to kneel.
Starving.
Having made a mistake, she was even locked up in a pigsty by the lady of the house, subjected to humiliation and ridicule. Yet the inherently weak Jiang Yuyan didn't even dare to fight back. Her only act of defiance was to ask her father, Shentu Hai, for a memorial tablet for her mother at the ancestral hall.
Shentu Hai agreed.
