In the fourth year that Song Shiwan spent waiting faithfully for Jing Chengyan, he returned from the northern frontier with another woman.
They said she was the daughter of a marquis, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She had just come of age and was a perfect match for him.
She watched the faithless man give someone else everything he had promised her. Heartbroken, she turned and walked away.
The Jing family thought they had finally sent their jinx packing. But the very next day, the old master of the Jing family died, the government seized their shops, and their youngest son was beaten the moment he stepped outside...
Only then did they realize in horror:
