This Time, I Let Her Keep My Family

Description： Elena Carter has already lived one life as the Whitmore family's lost biological daughter. It ended with Vivian, the adopted heiress, dead by suicide; Elena's parents and brother consumed by grief and hatred; and Adrian Sterling, her husband, determined to punish her for surviving.

Then Elena wakes at six years old, on the day the Whitmores are meant to take her home.

This time, she refuses them.

Hiding her true identity, Elena chooses Margaret Carter, a kind estate maid, as her mother and enters the Whitmore household as a servant's daughter. From the shadows, she protects Vivian from the truth that once shattered her, keeps the Whitmores at a careful distance, and builds toward the ordinary future she was denied: university, independence, and art of her own.

But the past will not stay buried. Julian Whitmore cannot understand why Elena's distance feels like abandonment. Marianne sees something achingly familiar in her face. And Adrian watches Elena with the unsettling intensity of a man haunted by a life no one else should remember.

Elena escaped her place in the Whitmore family once. As blood ties, old guilt, and Adrian's impossible devotion close in, she must decide how much of her hard-won life she is willing to risk—and whether changing the past can ever free her from it. Author Biography： Ling Wei crafts atmospheric historical romance with strong heroines navigating palace intrigue and destiny.
