On the night when the whole family was massacred, Shen Yuantang remembered two things -
Pei Shu's knife, and Pei Yanzhi's eyes.
When the knife fell, she thought she was dead. But that young man stood under the moonlight and saved her life with an understatement. She didn't know why he wanted to save her, she only knew that his surname was Pei. Everyone in the Pei family deserves to die.
Ten years later, she secluded herself in Wutong Villa in the south of the Yangtze River, living as an embroiderer and laying out plans as the master of the "Lingfeng Pavilion". She used an embroidery needle to embroider beautiful mountains and rivers, and also used this embroidery needle to poke a crack in the enemy's dragnet.
But Pei Yanzhi came.
He said it was to take shelter from the rain, that it was a coincidence, that it was a return trip to an old place. But Shen Yuantang saw something else in his eyes - the kind of calculating calculation she was all too familiar with. She thought he was here to eliminate the root cause and was prepared to risk her life.
Until that night, she overheard him saying to his entourage: "If she wants revenge, let her take it. I will repay the life she owes."
Only then did Shen Yuantang realize that she had not been acting out the revenge she had been preparing for ten years from the beginning.
He already knew who she was.
He just couldn't bear to expose it.
