NOT A HISTORICAL NOVEL! I FELT THE COVER WAS PRETTY, THAT'S ALL:]

Hua Mei was reborn as a cannon fodder in the novel called 'Love Troubles''. This novel depicts the love between two people who must overcome various obstacles to stay together and achieve their happily ever after. One of those troubles was a vicious cannon fodder, bearing the same name as Hua Mei. A typical jealous fodder designed to speed up the relationship between the main leads. But, this character resorted to desperate measures, such as drugging the male lead right before his wedding and conceiving a child. But, before she could threaten the male lead with her pregnancy report, the typical lovestruck extras of the female lead made her unable to disturb the couple.

Her scheme concluded in failure, resulting in an unborn and unwanted child. Struggling to cope, the cannon fodder vented her anger on the child during the five years of his upbringing. Her demise came abruptly in a car crash, ignorant to the torment she had inflicted on others. The child, subjected to mental and physical abuse, grew into a villain disrupting the love of the main leads' offspring---a bearer of his mother's infamies.

Aware of her impending doom, Hua Mei had to make a decision. Raise him or not?

Also why is she suddenly the young lady of the leading family in China?
