At that moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, collapsing a row of outbuildings belonging to the Shi family. Several days of torrential rain brought devastating floods, leaving many victims. Rumors began to circulate in the capital that she was a harbinger of disaster. However, she was exceptionally precocious, possessing a photographic memory and learning both good and bad things quickly. The rumors grew increasingly bizarre, even attracting inquiries from the palace. As everyone predicted, Shi Buyu died young at the age of three. Fifteen years later, the Marquis of Zhongyong, who guarded the border, betrayed his country and lost the city. His entire family was implicated, and everyone condemned the Shi family for their disloyalty and injustice. Even the name of the prematurely deceased harbinger of disaster was mentioned again. Sitting by the window, Shi Buyu chuckled. A harbinger of disaster? Then she would have to live up to that reputation.
