Reading Notes: Chinese Fairy Tales Book - Part A


I know the story of The Child of Ill Luck. This version is not complete. The original version talked about how the beggar husband went off and became a successful army general and then married the neighboring princess, whose father gives his throne to the beggar husband. The husband can return to his first wife, but he stayed with the new wife for the wealthy life. He came back to his first wife after invading her kingdom, and he brought her to be the new empress to ease the kingdom’s citizen. Otherwise, why didn’t she die during the 18 years of poverty but dies right after becoming an empress? I want to write a story where the ill-lucked princess finds out her husband’s selfishness and punishes him instead of waiting for him for 18 years. I can retell the story where the ill-lucked princess was murdered by the beggar husband’s new wife and her husband and died with anger and hatred. However, her parents knew of her story and spent years of doing charity, praying their daughter to have second chance in life to change her ill fate. Now, the ill-fated princess resurrected in the earlier years when her husband just left and started to change her destiny. I want to write how she returns to her parent’s house and plans her revenge on her once- loved husband. She wants to defeat him in his expertise. She becomes a talented warrior and defender of her land. With her talent she overshadows her husband, preventing him from becoming an emperor, and divorces him. With all her honors and victories, she becomes the next ruler of the land. She spends her life defending her kingdom and adopting all the children who were ill-fated like her, and she helps them to live out of their ill-fated destiny.
