Her mother was once a well-known courtesan in the capital, and her father fought against all opinions and married her as a wife. However, after becoming the prime minister, he acquiesced in his concubine and tortured her to death.
On that day when I had my hair cut off, I held my mother's cold body and heard my father say to my second aunt warmly: "Just drag the unlucky thing to the mass grave."
Three days later, I sneaked into the back alley of the brothel where my mother had hidden, and exchanged the medical classics left by my grandfather for a chance.
A year later, the second concubine's daughter Xie Ci became the new oiran and showed off her power to me at a banquet where dignitaries gathered.
She doesn't know that every "distinguished guest" who brings her to the stage tonight is the executioner arranged by me personally.
