Qi Yue and Xie Yuqing met each other on a rainy night, redeemed each other, and had feelings for each other. They could have stayed together for a lifetime, but when the truth about their parents' deaths was revealed, Qi Yue collapsed...
Qi Yue was originally the daughter of the minister of Dali Temple. She was raised in the palm of her hand, but she lost her parents when she was eleven years old.
My father and mother were assassinated in Evergreen Forest outside the city. The court investigated for three months with no results and then gave up.
On the pretext that Qi Yue was young and needed care, her aunt took her son to dominate the Qi Mansion, asking for her money, her people, and finally the home her parents left for her.
Qi Yue, who had been resisting for six years, finally took action that day. He smashed his cousin to death with an inkstone, escaped from the Qi Mansion, and fainted in the long street on a rainy night.
Xie Yuqing, who was going to Jin County in Kyoto to take up his post, came with his horse and brought him back to the county.
"From now on, you will be the cook of the county house. You will only cook one lunch a day, and you will be paid three taels of silver per month. Are you willing?"
"Yes!"
Every day after that, Qi Yue waited for Xie Yuqing for three meals. Even if he was busy with official duties, she would bring hot meals to him. When he was outside investigating the case, she would bring the meals to the murder scene.
"Sir, it's time to eat."
Every time he heard this sentence, he felt like a spring breeze.
But all this changed when the truth about the deaths of Qi Zongyuan and his wife was revealed...
