Bright Moon, Scattered Stars, Autumn Mountain Night

For years, Ye Zijin fled with her parents, moving from place to place.

She did not understand why, but she never asked. She waited for them to tell her the truth.

Instead, she found her mother lying lifeless in a pool of blood. Her father, clinging to his last breath, handed her his final keepsake and told her she was not his daughter by birth. Her real parents were the Marquis and Madam of Pingchang, who were massacred fifteen years ago for saving the people of Rongcheng. She was the youngest daughter of the Ye family of the Marquis of Pingchang’s household, and its sole surviving heir!

Ye Zijin was taken in by her father’s old friend, Grand Marshal He, and became his adopted daughter!

But repeated brushes with danger told her that her enemies were still out there, and her vengeance remained unfulfilled. Her life was never destined to be peaceful.

Ye Zijin could not understand why... She looked at the jade pendant engraved with her name in her hand. It was the only keepsake her parents had left her. Could the pendant hold the key? What secret had driven people to hunt her for more than ten years?

“You’ve... never been alone.”

“I’ll help you. You still have me, and you have the whole He family!” He Xiaoyuan said, gently holding Ye Zijin.

“I’ll believe anything you say... Are you willing to trust me?” He Xiaoyuan gazed at Ye Zijin tenderly.

“Of course.”
