It was winter in the capital, and when the first snow fell, I was kneeling outside the study of Mr. Shofu. The green bricks under my knees were bone-chillingly cold.
"Kneel down until you understand my last name." When he passed by me, the corner of his black cloak swept across my face, bringing with it a cool pine scent. I raised my head and only had time to see his back striding away, like an unsheathed knife.
I was sixteen years old that year. And he - Fu Chenzhou, the powerful chief minister of the government, is my only support in this world.
He was also the instigator of the destruction of my entire family.
Of course, I didn't learn the last secret until much later.
