[Two Powerful Leads Join Forces + Forbidden Uncle and Sister-in-Law Romance + Childhood Sweethearts + Mystery and Detective Cases]
When your closest loved ones die one after another, the only person you can trust turns out to be the one you should have stayed farthest from.
For two years, misfortune has haunted the Jiang household.
Less than two years after the master's death from illness, the eldest legitimate son, Jiang Qi, suddenly dropped dead.
Before the seventh-day memorial had even passed, Yin, the matriarch of the household, followed him to her grave, poisoned to death!
Soon after, a pregnant concubine miscarried, and strange incidents began happening throughout the residence...
Everyone was acting, and everyone had invisible blood on their hands.
In just a few short days, this once-glorious estate became a living tomb where everyone feared for their life.
The whole household was gripped by fear, with hidden currents swirling beneath the surface. The rumor spread that...
A ghost haunted the manor, claiming lives without end!
Liu Yunzhi opens her eyes to find herself the newly widowed eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. Before she can untangle the baffling murder case, she runs into a madman of a younger brother-in-law!
Jiang Yuan, the eldest son born to a concubine, left home seven years ago. Now he's returned, successful and accomplished, only to find a household riddled with deadly danger!
They were childhood sweethearts once. Now their positions in life could not be more different.
She is a sister-in-law trapped in a prison of accusations, while he is a younger brother-in-law wielding power.
She manages the household openly, while he secretly deploys his forces.
He corners her in the dim ancestral hall, standing inches away.
"Sister-in-law, investigate the case if you want, but if you risk your life alone again..."
His fingertip brushes the wound at the side of her neck, his voice turning low.
"I won't mind showing you what it really means to defy your elders."
At long last, he can only tell her helplessly:
"I have no title, I don't hold grudges, and it's hard for me to hate you."
