Tang Moyu knew that she would never be able to run away from her past no matter how hard she pretended that she was fine now.
From the moment she gained consciousness of her surroundings, where Zhang Wuying repeatedly tortured her emotionally and mentally, up to the time when Xing Yiyue schemed behind her back and ruined the life she'd been trying to fulfill ever since she was young.
She foolishly believed that Zhang Wuying would eventually come to love her if she persisted to put an effort to please the old woman. Tang Moyu then realized that she had been ignoring her misgivings from the start until now.
She was like a lotus flower, oblivious to the pains and sullen condition of her surroundings. She planted her roots in the murkiest place, ignorant of the filth beneath her as she bloomed exquisitely.
