In the middle of the Dajing Dynasty, aristocratic families and court forces were intertwined. The Shen family became a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River through "water transport and silk business". However, they were hated by Gu Yanchen for refusing to sell water transport benefits to the upstart Gu Yanchen (who rose to power by pleasing the prince). In his previous life, Gu Yanchen married into the Shen family under the guise of "marriage", secretly colluded with the prince and pirates, and slandered the Shen family. "Collaboration with the enemy and smuggling" led to the execution of the entire Shen family. Shen Qingci died tragically after being imprisoned for three months. Lu Zheng was hacked to death in order to save her.
