In the autumn of the seventh year of Yongchang, Shen Zhi knocked on the door of Pei Shangshu's mansion.
She is the last orphan of the Shen family in Jiangnan, and a businesswoman who is about to be abandoned by the Zhou family in the capital.
Under the curtain of rain, the young man who once promised her a phoenix crown and harem of flowers is now a powerful and cold-hearted official minister.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her wet embarrassment, and said in a cold tone: "Miss Shen, do you think that the threshold of my Shangshu Mansion is lower than that of Hou Men, so is it worth your while?"
Shen Zhi straightened her spine and met his gaze: "The civilian woman came here today to seek survival and justice."
Pei Yanzhi took her in for a contract and his ability to settle accounts.
He asked her to sort out old files, and she sniffed out the shocking secret of Jiangnan's taxes;
He took her to secretly investigate the river workers' corruption, and she followed the clues and pulled out the dirty chain of women's trafficking.
Everyone said that there was a "female accountant" of unknown origin in Pei Shangshu's house. She had a beautiful appearance but very powerful skills.
Only Pei Yanzhi knew who silently handed him warm water when he had a cough late at night; and who carefully massaged and massaged him when his stomach ached unbearably due to labor.
Only he knew that his heart, which had been frozen for ten years, was quietly cracking open because of her.
However, crises ensued.
The slander from his political opponents, the threats from his husband, the court's backstabbing, and... The truth hidden behind that ruthless letter that year.
When Shen Zhi finally got the He Li book and was about to turn around and leave, she was blocked by Pei Yanzhi in the corridor.
"Shen Zhi, you have settled the world's accounts, but have you ever settled... The ten years you owed me?"
"This time, I want you to spend the rest of your life paying it back with interest."
Purpose: Love yourself and the people around you
