Flowers Are Bait - Chapter 197:

Jiang Cheng, a translator proficient in five languages, finds herself inside a book.In the book, the original protagonist's parents are deceased, and she is tricked into the Lin Family, where she works hard for three years under the title of elder sister-in-law. Three years later, her fiancé returns with the female lead whom he has married.The original protagonist is manipulated by the Lin Family into becoming their goddess daughter and continues to work hard. When the male and female leads face difficulties in starting their business, she is...Upon reading this, Jiang Cheng feels that a hundred “pah” are insufficient to quell her indignation.Once inside the book, Jiang Cheng carefully plots and ingeniously sets up a fake diary to tear down the Lin Family's facade.Assuming the persona of Jiang the Rebuker, she steps in directly.“All the abacuses in the world have been perfected by your Lin Family!”“Talking money harms feelings; without talking money, how do I know you have feelings!”“I am young; you are too old. There's a high probability you won't live to see me succeed. Have a good journey.”Years later, Jiang Cheng, once seen by others as a weak and naive scapegoat, has transformed into an outstanding translator, offering her expertise to major factories to translate imported equipment, providing strategies, and becoming a prominent figure in the industry.With the most polite language, she delivers the most powerful statements and reaps the most foreign exchange.Meanwhile, the male and female leads, crushed by life, huddle in a cramped rented room, clutching a newspaper, watching Jiang Cheng, whose demeanor and appearance are exceptional, advance even further.At this moment, they are not even qualified to be envious.Jiang Cheng walks out of the airport and spots the tall Shen Que from afar. As her smile blossoms, she is suddenly embraced by two people.“Sister-in-law, I've missed you so much!”“Sister-in-law, you're finally back!”Shen Que, who is pushed aside from afar, wordlessly reaches out and pulls Shen Xing and Shen Yue away, saying, “She's my wife.”Shen Xing and Shen Yue say in unison, “Hello, brother-in-law!”

The story begins as our female lead wakes up in a strange room and an unfamiliar body. She realizes that she has travelled back in time and her twenty-two year old spirit is now trapped in the body of a six year old girl. This girl child is the third daughter of Ning Guo’s Prime Minister Li and his seventh wife. Her name is Li Qing Luo and because her mother was originally from an entertainment house, Prime Minister Li and his other six wives treated them badly.

Her first day in that world, the whole family gathers to test the talent of the three daughters. Qing Lei, the eldest, is talented at playing the zither while Qing Fei’s calligraphy is incomparable. Everyone anticipates A’Luo’s failure as she had not exhibited any talent before, but that six year old child recites a famous Tang poem. The entire family is surprised that Qing Luo is able to write such a profound poem and her mother later tells her that Prime Minister Li is so harsh on his daughters because he needs to rely on them marrying well to secure his future. Qing Luo begins to study qin, qi, shu, hua (zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting) but hides her skill because she does not want to be sold in marriage to some prince or court official.

Six years later, A’Luo is now twelve and leaves the estate for the first time to participate at a flower viewing banquet. This is a special banquet because the Five Most Eligible Bachlors of Feng Cheng will be in attendance (there’s actually a more elegant name for them). These young men are: Crown Prince Liu Jian, Fourth Prince Liu Fei, the young An Qing Wang Liu Jue, the son of Prime Minister Gu Gu Tian Xiang, and the top scorer of the Imperial Examinations Cheng Si Yue. A’Luo sneaks off and almost falls into a river, but is saved by a handsome young man. Because he glanced at her bare legs a moment too long, A’Luo calls him a pervert, tries to push him into the river and runs off. The young man only laughs and vows to find her again.
