Chapter 1 [Vol.001] Female
*
The day Qiuyuan Liangxi left the family was sunny.
There was warm light outside the window, but the room seemed to be swept by a biting cold wind. The frost color penetrated into the skin and embedded in the bone marrow from the outside to the inside.
She was wearing a cherry-colored kimono and knelt on the tatami mat, with her hands resting on her lap, her fingertips slightly curled up, and slowly tightened.Sweat dripped from the palm of his hand and wet the corner of the skirt.
She had never felt so hard.
Time passed bit by bit, and a deathlike silence flowed in the cramped air, grabbing her breath invisible.
Facing her in front of her were her so-called relatives who had been facing each other day and night for so many years.
She never thought that one day she would stand against them.
——Qiu Yuan Liangxi has been a well-behaved and docile child since he was a child.
Everyone in the Qiuyuan family thought so, including her biological parents.
At least compared to her bohemian and unrestrained older sister, she is indeed too obedient, as if she never needs adults to worry about anything, because Qiuyuan Liangxi never makes things difficult for you.
She even accepted the marriage with the Atobe family without complaint.
It's no wonder that her biological sister disliked her everywhere, always felt that she was not like a person, but a puppet at the mercy of others.
However, the puppet will also have a day to counterattack.
The main board of the Akimoto family sat on top with a face down, slightly turning the green agate worn on his middle finger. ——That agate is a symbol of the noble and unparalleled Akimoto family, and it is unique to the head of the Akimoto family.He originally planned to pass it on to Qiuyuan Liangxi in the future, and she is the most stable member of the Qiuyuan family.
He raised the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.
Now it seems unnecessary.
Qiu Yuan Liangxi's parents looked at her nervously, for fear that she would upset the head of the family and lose the inheritance right that everyone was eyeing.
They were weak by nature, but they gave birth to such a strong daughter.Even facing Patriarch Qiuyuan, who has dominated the market for so many years, his eyes were straight ahead, open and frank, and he had never felt timid.
There is a world of difference with them.
It was also this obedient daughter who made a tough request this time that sounded like a joke.
Patriarch Qiuyuan looked down at her, feeling a heavy sense of oppression. He said, "It's decided?"
"Yes, it's decided."
"Going out of this door, you have nothing to do with the Qiuyuan family from now on. Whether you live or die, whether you are a blessing or a disaster, has nothing to do with the Qiuyuan family. It is also not allowed to use the name of the Qiuyuan family to deceive and cheat."
Qiu Yuan Liangxi propped his hands on the ground, kowtowed heavily, with a solemn expression, "Yes."
—she had had enough.
Tired of being treated as a puppet, fed up with being like a marionette without any emotion, they want her to please someone and get close to someone, so she has to endure nausea and chat and laugh with that person, laughing and laughing.
Fed up with them asking her to get married, she has to live under the fence and try to please her fiancé in every possible way.
——Just because she is from the Akimoto family.
Ah.
How ridiculous.
She also wanted to be like her sister, one day break free from the cage that bound her for half her life, and from then on, the sky was as high as the sky.
This time, she made up her mind not to let anyone manipulate her anymore.
Patriarch Qiuyuan looked at her quietly for a while, his eyes were aggressive, as if piercing his heart.He closed his eyes, opened them again, and the thousands of words turned into a sigh that seemed like nothing.
I don't know whether it is regret or regret.
In the end, he just raised his hand casually and gave a plausible answer.
"I see."
Qiuyuan Liangxi understood.
She kowtowed again.
To the head of the Qiuyuan family, her grandfather in name.
Facing the cowardly couple who dare not say "no" all their lives are the parents who gave birth to her and raised her.
She stood up, holding the hem of her long skirt, turned her head and left, the old man's vicissitudes of life sounded from behind as if through all the time, "From today onwards, Qiuyuan Liangxi and Qiuyuan's family will be bound by ties."
She paused, then answered in a low voice.
"Yes."
·
Qiuyuan Liangxi ran into her eldest sister, Qiuyuan Liuyi, on that long corridor.
The woman who was three years older than her.
The unrestrained woman who defies the family and simply stays with the one she loves.
The woman she had envied the most.
She leaned against the wall, with her arms entwined, looked at her and smiled, "I didn't expect my puppet sister to become cold and hard, more tolerant than anyone else."
Qiu Yuan Liangxi is used to her ridicule.
But only this time she answered her positively, "It's not a puppet."
"It's never going to be a puppet again," she said.
The former Qiu Yuan was cool and dead.
Qiuyuan Liuyi was startled, then suddenly smiled again.It was the first time she spoke so seriously to her sister who was supposed to be closest to her, with a faint light in her eyes, "Lingxi, you are far braver than me."
...And I still want to grow old in this cage.

She watched the cumbersome door slowly close behind her, and the boulder hanging from the tip of her heart finally fell to the ground, leaving only a sense of relief.
The warm and soft soil was mixed with the fragrance of spring grass, and the coldness gathered in the room finally dissipated, and she walked slowly towards the light.
He ran into Atobe Keigo who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
He was against the light, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
——There has never been unreasonable bravery in this world, it is nothing more than relying on something.
With a habitual smile on the corner of her mouth, she walked slowly towards him.
Unexpectedly, the young man looked at her with dissatisfaction, stretched out his hand to suppress the perfect curve of her lips, and said, "Don't laugh like this in the future, it's so ugly."
She was startled.
Immediately, he smiled again with two shallow dimples on his cheeks, and said, "Yes."
"solved?"
"Well, it's solved." She shrugged her shoulders easily, her brows and eyes curved, "I will rely on you to support me from now on, Master Atobe."
On his face was the same confident and arrogant smile as always, "The Atobe family is more than enough to support one of you."
The proud young man who is used to the king's presence in the world caresses the mole of his tears, his eyes are shining, he slowly said, "In this life, one must live for himself once."
The young man was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off.
And he might continue to shine like this. From the first day she met him, she knew that he was a man who lived in the center of the world.
So she slowly stretched out her hand, "Hello, I'm your girlfriend Qiuyuan Liangxi, please give me your advice."
……
That year she knelt on the tatami and turned her head to smile at him, saying, "Hello, I am your fiancée Qiuyuan Liangxi, please give me your advice."
When she was 20 years old, she came to him facing the light and said, "Hello, I am your girlfriend Qiuyuan Liangxi, please give me your advice."
Everything started from scratch.
……
He held that hand and smiled flamboyantly.
……
— Hello, girlfriend.
