Chapter 1: Aunt姑姑

My Aunt Butterfly is an extraordinary woman. She is the renowned lady of the Cui family in the capital, a refined and elegant member of a distinguished family.

我的姑姑崔蝶是一个了不起的人物。

她是京城崔家的才女，她也是个温婉端庄，清婉隽秀的名门之女。

Although our Cui family cannot be compared to the imperial palace or noble mansions, we are a respected family with a history spanning over a century. My aunt gained fame at a very young age. She could compose poetry at three, write verses by seven, and was highly skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

我们崔家虽然比不得皇宫侯府，但是我们是一个沉淀百年了的清贵世家。

我的姑姑在很小的时候就名扬天下，她三岁能诗，七岁能赋，自幼琴棋书画学得样样精通，样样拔尖。

From a young age, she stood at the pinnacle of society. She was exceptional in terms of background, appearance, talent, and wisdom.

来我们家提亲的人从来都是络绎不绝的，都快把我们家的门槛踏破了，可是姑姑就是不同意，就这样她也渐渐成了老姑娘了，然而提亲求娶的人仍然没有断过，只是越来越少了。

Everyone knew that the Cui family had a lady of stunning beauty and unparalleled talent. However, this lady had exceedingly high standards, and even the sons of noble families couldn''t catch her eye.

所有人都知道崔家养了个国色天香，倾国倾城，绝代风华的大才女，只是此女却心性极高，一般男儿，名门贵子在她眼中也是瞧不上的。

Gradually, not all words about my aunt were filled with admiration and praise. Negative comments arose, and they only grew more and more. However, my aunt paid them no intention, continuing to live as she pleased.

也因此渐渐地，那些言语中不再全是钦佩夸赞我的姑姑，也有了些负面的言论，而这些负面的言论也越来越多，越来越多，只是姑姑并不理睬这些，依然我行我素，照样过着自己的日子……。

Since childhood, I knew I had an incredible aunt highly respected in our family. Our household management was not
