Everyone calls Song Aye the mad dog raised by the young lady.
The first time Ji Nanzhu saw him, he was fighting a wolf for scraps.
The eight-year-old boy had a fiercer gaze than the wolf.
"Come with me. I'll make sure you're never hungry." Ji Nanzhu tossed him a piece of bread and laid down the rules. "When you grow up, no dating and no marriage. Your life and your time belong to me."
The boy took the bread in his teeth and followed her.
Thirteen years later, after her father died suddenly, she rushed back to Nanyang from Huaguo overnight.
Before she even arrived, her cousin tried to seize power.
In the mourning hall, seven or eight guns were aimed at the wolf cub she had raised. The wolf cub had the young master of the collateral branch pinned in the crook of his arm, his gun pressed to the man's brow. "The young lady isn't here yet. No one is allowed to move!"
Her uncles roared in anger. "You mutt, an outsider by blood, dare to rebel!"
Ji Nanzhu arrived. "Aye isn't an outsider. He's one of my people."
Everyone thought the old family head's fall marked the end of the Ji family.
Who could have guessed it was the very moment the Queen of Mabang ascended the throne?
