Crying blood and tears, she pledged a poisonous vow. The gods did not fail her. She was sent back to a decade ago. The legitimate daughter of Jiang family returned from hell.
Forget it, whatever. Since they already claim...

As was the case for the last outing, which took place at the Assistant Minister Shen's residence, most of the young ladies who attended the banquet were the capital's officials' daughters. However, they fell short of today's high-ranked misses. For many people, this would be their first time seeing the di daughter of the Jiang fu.It has always been said that Jiang fu's Jiang Su Su was renowned for both her talent as well as her beautiful, fairy-like appearance. Therefore, they were all brimming with curiosity about this young lady who grew up in the countryside. Who would have thought that she had such a magnificent and graceful bearing?
The Qing Song Boat and the Ling Long Boat were in close proximity to each other. Both boats were moored side by side at the pier. Each and every move of the Jiang fu's young ladies, from the shore to get on the boat, could be seen by all the people aboard the Qing Song Boat. Jiang Dan and Jiang Li were naturally ignored in favour of the Jiang fu's di daughter. In the past, all eyes fell on Jiang Su Su, but tonight they were focusing on Jiang Ruan.
Aboard the Qing Song Boat, an infatuated official family's young master dressed in resplendent brocade, muttered, "A beauty from the city, and a beauty from the country."
Jiang Ruan walked steadily. However, it felt somewhat ironic. In her past life, she also stepped onto the Ling Long Boat the same way, but unfortunately, she did not receive such amazed gazes from people. At that time, their eyes were filled with sneers and ridicule, as if they were watching a low-class person who trembled with fear upon entering the upper echelons of society for the first time. In this life, why had it turned out this way?
She was not aware that in the past life, what Jiang Su Su and Xia Yan had instilled into her daily, in addition to the way others looked down on her due to the many years in the countryside, made her grow into a timid person riddled with an inferiority complex. Upon returning to the Jiang fu, Xia Yan had pretended to treat her on such intimate terms to the point of spoiling her silly. In reality, it was a "killing by overpraising" tactic. She never called a teacher to teach her to read or how to play theguqin, nor was she taught any feminine arts. Also she was left to her own devices in terms of her etiquette. For those noble families in the capital who observed rules and customs, she became a laughing stock.
Besides appearance, one could earn merit through personal conduct and manners. However, in her past life, she was timid and submissive. No matter how superior her appearance was, given such behaviour, she failed to live up to the expectations.
