Jiang Fu ran into a bit of trouble on her way back to the capital, so her return was less than dignified: she was brought back by the people from the Court of Judicial Review, otherwise known as being hauled off to prison.
After more than a decade out of sight, the moment she reappeared, rumors about her were already spreading through the capital.
The granddaughter of a renowned statesman, the future daughter-in-law of a marquis’s household, and the fiancée of Xu Leyun, the capital’s biggest wastrel, was actually a murderer! Worse, she stubbornly refused to break off the engagement and kept clinging to Xu Leyun. What shamelessness!
Jiang Fu, fresh out of prison, touched the corner of her brow and said, “Rumors have a way of getting out of hand! It’s not true that I’m clinging to Xu Leyun, and I’m not shameless either. As for whether I really killed someone...”
“You’ll have to ask the sword in my hand.”
The theme of this novel: The young should soar to the skies, clasping the stars and moon and chasing the sunlight.
