Everyone in the capital knew that Marquis Yongjia, Mu Huaijin, had suffered from a strange illness since childhood and could not go near women.
No one could have imagined that, at the age of thirty, Marquis Yongjia would marry his own daughter-in-law, Lady Xu, on the day his adopted son was wed.
Lady Xu was a bona fide bringer of bad luck. The moment she opened her mouth, she was cursing people with ruined families and bloody disasters.
Yet the marquis indulged her, helping her drum up business and accompanying her as she banished evil spirits, told fortunes, and sold talisman papers.
He had clearly lost his mind over her!
But Marquis Yongjia said, “You ordinary folk could never understand my wife's lofty ambitions. If anyone dares stand in her way, I, Mu Huaijin, will be the first to object.”
The people of the capital: “?” Who would be reckless enough to stand in her way?
