[A charming, flirtatious young marshal + a ruthless, decisive woman escort]
[Republican-era setting + tragic romance + family intrigue + matriarch of the household + broken engagement and elopement + episodic stories]
In the late Qing and early Republican era, tiny En County was full of hidden talents.
Even as dynasties changed, the Feng family escort agency stood firm.
Watch as the Feng family’s seventh daughter dances across the land in a time of turmoil, putting family and country before love and hatred...
The Feng family’s Fourth Young Lady:
In the thirteenth year of the Republic, I was heavily pregnant when my husband was urgently called to the front lines.
Though he was loath to leave me,
I urged him to put the country first.
Our child and I would wait for his victorious return.
Later, I suffered a hemorrhage during a difficult labor and barely survived.
But I did not wait for him to return. Instead, a slender young woman appeared and called me “sister”!
I generously arranged for him to take two concubines.
But he was a wild wolf, never satisfied.
When he was once again enchanted by a woman,
he looked troubled and said to me, “She says she wants to... be my wife.”
I remained calm and went out that night.
When I returned, I placed a bloodstained dart and a pigeon-egg-sized ring before him.
Bai Chengsheng went mad, grabbing my shoulders as if he wanted to tear me apart...
