Lu He grew up in the Miao region. She mastered all kinds of Miao witchcraft and poison arts, and combined traditional Chinese medicine with shamanic healing and poison techniques to create a whole new medical system. On top of that, she had a gift from nature: she could understand animals.
Before her master passed away of old age, he sent her to the Mo family, one of B City's most powerful families, with a letter entrusting her to their care. He hoped Mo Yuan, the Mo family's old master and his “first love,” would look after his precious apprentice and let her live in peace under an assumed name.
Mo Yuan adored Lu He. He not only let her stay with the Mo family, but personally arranged her engagement to Mo Ting. The entire Mo family doted on her, especially Mo Ting, the current head of the family and Mo Yuan's own grandson. He was practically her loyal dog, giving her the stars when she asked for them and never settling for the moon.

Then a middle-aged man with a face full of false, kindly affection appeared.
“Uncle Master's here...”
