The day Yun Shu married into the Ji family, she was the hope of the entire household. Their birth charts matched, so she had been brought in to bring good luck to the eldest young master.
At first, everyone thought the eldest young master had come back from the dead. Only later did they learn that those six months had been nothing but a final burst of life.
Overnight, Yun Shu became the unluckiest person in the Ji household.
No one hit or scolded her, but no one remembered her either. She became a living corpse, trapped in the Ji household.
She had already accepted her fate, but then her young brother sent word through someone: their mother was gravely ill, and they had no money for treatment.
She searched every cabinet, but couldn't scrape together a single piece of silver.
That night, she summoned her courage and went to the study of the second young master, Ji Mingxuan.
The refined, aloof man looked down at her with a mocking smile. “A loan? What will you use to pay me back?”
After her younger brother passed the imperial examinations, he sent her banknotes. Yun Shu brought every note she owed and set them all in front of Ji Mingxuan.
Ji Mingxuan flew into a rage. He tore up the banknotes and pinned her against the wall. “Do you think I'm some beggar you can toss a few coins to? How are you going to repay me for my virtue?!”
