Shen Qingci didn't know until his death that the prosperity of the Shen family, the tragic death of his mother, and the destruction of the Gu family were all in the hands of that gentle and lovely concubine. Leng Gong's bowl of poisonous wine went down her throat, and she closed her eyes filled with hatred.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back to the time when he was fifteen years old.
