The driver, sent specifically by Yun Shu to pick up Kang Jinxian, noticed her pale complexion and couldn't help asking, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Kang Jinxian leaned weakly in the seat, having felt a lack of strength lately, probably due to insufficient rest. To maintain a good image, she devoted almost all her free time to studying, but it was still not enough; her grades were only considered above average, a bit short of excellence.
She thought herself clever, and over the years she'd pulled out all the stops trying to please Yun Shu and Yun Shen. Yet that cunning wasn't enough for academics; sometimes, she felt utterly discouraged that God had not given her a pretty face, a good family background, and why not a smart brain as well.
Had she not carved her own path by crafting the image of an obedient and filial daughter, she might have remained unnoticed.
