Shen Yanqing was the most inconspicuous concubine in the Hou family. His biological mother died young and his aunt treated her harshly. When her personal maid was sold, she only left him two words: live.
He survived, and lived in a way that no one expected.
Starting from the discovery of the bones of his concubine in a dry well, he secretly collected the seven major crimes against his legitimate mother: poisoning the concubine, embezzling public property, persecuting the eldest son, depriving the tribesmen, committing murder with the son, having an affair with a foreign relative, and intending to commit parricide. There is physical evidence for each case, and there are witnesses for each case.
Pretending to be a ghost to force a confession, exchanging poisonous soup, hiding money in a secret room, meeting with clan elders - he spent seven years enduring the humiliation in exchange for a head-on confrontation.
When his aunt was in tears and wanted to drown him, he knelt in front of the clan elders and presented all the evidence, word for word: "My mother was poisoned to death."
This is not a house fight, it is a story about how a young man holds the bottom line, seeks justice, and rebuilds his home in a cannibalistic prince's mansion.

It's not easy for a concubine, struggling to survive under the unscrupulous step-mother, and he finally raised his eyebrows!
Even old bookworms can read it. It's not about how awesome the male protagonist is. It's his rare kindness and letting go. I just want to see his ending be good.
The character's heart is well written, I hope the story behind it will be more sunny and lively.
The author's writing is really good. I like books that are straightforward. No big ups or downs.
The ups and downs of fighting and killing in old age make those good people heartbroken.
