Qin Wantang gazed at his receding figure, lost in thought. Memories surfaced of nineteen years ago when her beauty captivated the entire Central Continent, earning her the title of the most beautiful woman. Because of her looks, many coveted her, yet none dared to lay a hand on her, for she was the sole daughter of the Qin Family's direct lineage. Her life had always shone brightly, with a promising and open future ahead.
She had a vast family estate and a fiancé of equal social standing.
Yet, her life had three major twists.
The first occurred when she was fifteen years old. Her father brought home a young boy, his illegitimate son from outside. On the day of her eighteenth birthday, a disaster struck: a fire broke out. She managed to escape and heard this half-brother's cries for help. She hesitated briefly then chose to ignore them, witnessing him struggle in the blaze, ultimately dying in the fire.
