Heavy snow fell for three consecutive days, crushing the dead branches in the streets and alleys of the capital, but it could not cover up the smell of blood coming out of Zhongshu Ling Shen's mansion.
The vermilion gate was smashed into pieces by the armored soldiers, and the cold light of the swords and guns was more dazzling than the snow. All the 373 people in the house, from the octogenarian old lady to the infant baby, were all tied up. The charges were the biggest taboos of the day - collaborating with the enemy and treason, and plotting to usurp the country.
From now on, there is no longer Zhongshuling's legitimate daughter Shen Qingci in the world, only the orphan girl Aci who lives in secret, waiting for Xuerong's revenge.
