    The story begins with a bombshell: the original owner of this body is on the path to adultery, with her own elder brother acting as pimp. According to the original plot, Jiang Yuzhu would contract a sexually transmitted disease and die young from depression due to her affair with this scoundrel. The entire Jiang family of a thousand, who loved their daughter and sister dearly, would be driven mad by this, ultimately offending the new emperor and being executed along with their entire clan. For the next several decades, Xie Zhao never married, nor was he accompanied by a woman. He assisted the new emperor, reformed the imperial examination system, and developed water conservancy projects, eventually becoming a powerful prime minister, his name etched in history.
