Lin Mohuan's birth mother was a beautiful singer at a dance house. One day, she caught the eye of Old Master Lin, a fourth-rank official. When Lin Mohuan was six, her mother also caught the eye of Prince Fu, who was visiting the Lin residence. With a grand wave of his hand, Old Master Lin gave her away. To curry favor with Prince Fu, he even wanted to have Lin Mohuan strangled to eliminate any future trouble. But her mother proved remarkably fortunate and actually became Princess Fu. She ordered Old Master Lin to treat Lin Mohuan well, scaring him into scrambling to free the girl from the white silk noose. From then on, Old Master Lin rose steadily through the ranks, eventually becoming Minister Chancellery.
After a serious illness, everyone thought Lin Mohuan was a little girl who had lost her memory. To survive, Lin Mohuan had no choice but to pretend she had amnesia, keeping her head down and proceeding with caution at every step.
