Nie Fu Wei is the eldest daughter of Xianyue Manor. Refined and frail, she has a daughter despite never having married.
On the day her younger brother took over as manor lord, the manor was bustling with activity. Three hidden guards quietly escorted her and her daughter out through the back gate.
She settled in Foya Town, where undercurrents ran deep, and took over a dilapidated inn. Every day, she tended to the inn, played with her daughter as the little girl learned to talk, and occasionally killed someone.
Before long, a young and handsome county magistrate arrived in town. Determined to clean up Foya Town, he was a formidable man, and he summoned Cang Jin, the master of the greatest tower under heaven.
By day, Cang Jin was taciturn and solemn, never sparing Nie Fu Wei a glance. At night, he knelt respectfully before her bed. "This subordinate greets his master."
It had been a year and four seasons since they last met.
Nie Fu Wei stared at him in silence, but the little one in her arms happily reached out both hands to him and said in a babyish voice, "Hug!"
