Chapter 2 (1/2)
Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud
What made Helian Wei Wei want to cry was that there were no historical records of this world she knew of…it was totally foreign to her… from the memories that invaded her mind, she learned that she was now in The War Dragon Empire!
And this body that she now resided in, held a prestigious name, as the Eldest Miss of one of the Great Four War Dragon Empire Family clans. With such a powerful background, one should be able to strut around with her head held high.
However, after the death of her grandfather, her father took a concubine as his second wife, forgetting the promise he made when he married into the Helian family. He had sworn an oath and promised that no one would ever replace her mother’s place, or he would be struck by lightning.
The concubine had tearfully told everyone that Helian Wei Wei’s mother was too domineering and she could not tolerate her. But later that year, her mother’s illness took a turn for the worse and she was unable to leave her bed. Finally, depression took hold of her and she pa.s.sed away.
And thus, generations of the Helian family empire fell into the hands of an outsider.
She, the rightful heir of the family was too young to tell good and evil apart, let alone having the wisdom to see the deception that lay within the household.
She felt that the concubine had her interests at heart because she never hit nor scolded her. Not knowing the most insidious plan of all……was to kill her!
After the concubine took over the household, she brought Helian Wei Wei up to become an arrogant and witless lady. Wei Wei got into trouble all the time, but the concubine never intervened. Finally, anyone who took one look at her, were only ever disgusted by her temper and her hateful face. They said that she was not worthy to be the heir and that she sought something that she was not worthy of.
Wei Wei’s marriage plans were in jeopardy because everyone believed that she bullied her younger half sister Helian Jiao Er who now may be married before her.
That scheming couple! Both her father and that cheap Mistress, what a show they had both!
If it weren’t for her vicious stepmother and half sister, she would have not lost her standing in society and become a despised lovestruck good-for-nothing person.
Lovestruck? Good-for-nothing? This was not who she was.
“I’m fine.” said Helian Wei Wei as she held onto the elderly woman, the sound of her voice concealed her true feelings. Over the years, she had learned to quickly calm her thoughts wherever she was, and a.s.sess the situation at hand.
Even though the power of the Helian family was in the hands of an outsider, her father had spared Wei Wei’s life. He had to keep up the pretense of a court minister from a prestigious family, and not be known as ungrateful and ruthless one who would not even spare his own flesh and blood.
On the contrary, because he was a hypocrite, he had to watch his actions and could not overstep the boundaries. Wei Wei knew that in a household where she held no power, she brought shame to her family name. Hence, many chose to be on her younger half sister Helian Jiao Er’s side.
She didn’t even have the right to attend family functions.
How ridiculous, considering she was the only living heir of the Helian family! If she weren’t the heir, she would have killed herself ages ago. Wei Wei truly had no one she could count on.
