Gu Nianli, the youngest Mr. Li in Tianji Pavilion, has an old scar running across the knuckle on his left index finger.
Seven years ago, she was Shen Huaijin's newlywed wife. She was wrongly accused of poisoning and knelt outside the Shen mansion all night. No one listened to her explanation. She slit her fingers with the edge of the inkstone, pressed them on the divorce letter, and left without even looking back.
Seven years later, she returned according to the order and stepped into Shen Mansion as the master of Tianji Pavilion. Mrs. Shen knelt for three days and three nights, begging her to help the Shen family. Her ex-husband set up a memorial tablet for her in the ancestral hall. Under the tablet was engraved a line of words: "For three months, there will be a bloody disaster."
And those things she once thought were accidental, Liu Ruyan's poisoning seven years ago, the decline of the Shen family's fate, and the "broken" engraved on the bronze talisman, she found that none of them were accidental. Each one is a carefully calculated price in the life-stealing ceremony.
But she said: Gu Nianli died seven years ago. She didn't come back for revenge, she just wanted to hear the truth. Don't accuse anyone. Listen to them themselves.
Concept: Real strength is not "forgiving the person who hurt me", but "I no longer need to prove anything by forgiving or not forgiving"
