One night, Shen Yunzhi's parents were killed. She had her legs broken because her father stood in front of her, but she was rescued and brought home by her belated cousin.
Liu Chenwu, the minister of Dali Temple, found the surviving Shen Yunzhi from under his uncle's body, took him home and took good care of him, and cared deeply about his cousin.
However, there were vicious rumors about Shen Yunzhi in the capital. The ladies from the aristocratic families were avoiding her, and the aristocratic children were also scornful. Only Su Xiye, the youngest son of the Linwang family, did not believe the rumors. Shen Yunzhi was obviously so delicate, how could he be who they said he was.
Liu Chenwu also comforted Shen Yunzhi, fearing that she would feel sorry for herself because of these rumors, but Shen Yunzhi just smiled in the face of these rumors and seemed not to care.
One day later, Su Xiye and Liu Chenwu saw Shen Yunzhi, whose skirt was stained red with blood, holding a knife to the neck of the current prince.
