In the south of Yandu City, deep in the back alleys, Su Liyin and his sick mother depended on each other.
She has a soft and charming appearance, speaks in a soft voice, and can only secretly roll her eyes when being bullied. Everyone else said that she was the shady concubine of the Minister of Etiquette. She lived a cautious life, and even looked at people's faces when serving tea in the teahouse.
A sudden change occurred overnight. She was pushed into the sedan chair as a chess piece, and then fished out of the fire pit by the cold-faced and cold-hearted Zhenbei General Gu Heng. From then on, there was a little girl who was doing the abacus in the general's office, and there was a little trouble around Gu Heng that he couldn't get rid of.
She thought that the most difficult thing in life was to pay off the debt of one hundred taels of silver.
Little did she know, that jade pendant was pulling her fate back inch by inch to the depths of the palace fifteen years ago——
And when the truth is revealed, the man who protected her under his wings will finally understand: what he wants to protect has never been some foreign concubine or little maid, but the only... True pearl that the Zhao Dynasty left behind among the people and has the blood of the late emperor.
