The Bright Moon Shines on the Road Home

In her previous life, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Shangshu residence, Second Miss Lu, was the envy of everyone in the capital and the object of jealousy among the noble young ladies. Her father was the Minister of Revenue, her mother the second legitimate daughter of Grand Academician Cui’s family, and her elder brother the commander of the Palace Front Division. The Lu family was truly powerful and prestigious.

When Lu Qinghe was seventeen, Emperor Yongjia issued an imperial edict arranging her marriage to Prince Rui, and the eldest legitimate daughter of Minister Lu was made his principal consort.

Xiao Huaifeng, Prince Rui, was the legitimate son of the current empress and the fifth prince of Great Qi. He earned his qualifications at just thirteen, then went to guard the border for five years. He was a rare talent in both letters and arms.

Everyone said that marrying into the imperial family was a blessing Lu Qinghe had earned in her previous life. After their wedding, the couple lived in perfect harmony and treated each other with deep affection. Prince Rui was devoted to his consort alone and took no other wives or concubines. Who could help envying such a well-matched pair?

Later, Xiao Huaifeng seized power and ascended the throne. Everyone assumed Lu Qinghe would become empress, ruling the realm with virtue and earning the love of its people. But the Lu family suddenly rebelled, and Xiao Huaifeng flew into a rage. Lu Qinghe was banished to the cold palace and became a discarded consort.

On the day the Lu family was executed, Lu Qinghe, dressed in plain white, leapt from the city wall. Her tragic, heartrending end left everyone lamenting.

After all the splendor had faded, she was reborn. Everything had yet to happen, and Lu Qinghe vowed that in this life, she would save every member of the Lu family.
