About This Novel
In the Jin Kingdom more than two thousand years ago, a regicide incident triggered a shocking murder. Duke Linggong of Jin was a dissolute and shameless king. He built a lot of construction projects and levied heavy taxes, which made the people miserable. At that time, Zhao Dun, the prime minister of the dynasty, repeatedly gave advice to Duke Ling, but instead of accepting it, Duke Linggong had murderous intentions. After several disasters, Zhao Dun escaped from the tiger's mouth and conspired with his younger brother Zhao Chuan to kill Linggong. After Linggong was killed, Zhao Dun and Zhao Chuan welcomed Linggong's uncle Heiyi back to the country to succeed him, who later became Duke Cheng of Jin. After Chenggong died, his son Jinggong succeeded to the throne. In the third year of Jinggong's reign, when Zhao Dun was dead, the chief minister Tu'anjia killed the entire Zhao family on the pretext that Zhao Dun had "regicide". Only one orphan was left, who was taken away from the Prince Consort's Mansion by Caoze doctor Cheng Ying. This orphan became the Zhao orphan. In order to get close to Tu Anjia, Cheng Ying asked the Zhao orphan to recognize Tu Anjia as his adoptive father. As the Zhao orphans gradually grew up, they fell in love with Tu Anjia's adopted daughter Tu An Rouyi. Just when they were about to tie the knot, Cheng Ying suddenly revealed this shocking secret...
