From the age of five to fifteen, Fang Fuyin found two people.
One was gentle and refined, and stayed by her side for eight years as she grew up. He was her childhood sweetheart, the one she loved.
The other was breathtakingly handsome. She treated his injuries for two months, then a great fire consumed everything, leaving her family destroyed.
She became a disciple of the Valley Master of Shennong Valley and entered the capital openly as the young Valley Master. By day, she healed the sick and saved lives with her extraordinary medical skills. By night, she ran an intelligence house, searching for information and swearing to avenge the Fang family.
A half-piece of jade unexpectedly drew members of the imperial family into the matter...
Fang Fuyin understood that the instant she saved that man, she had already been drawn into the struggle for imperial power. She and the Fang family were nothing but pawns.
As an illegitimate son of the richest family in Jiangzhou, Zhou Xunyi never had a single good day. His jealous stepmother sent him to a farm in another prefecture, where he suffered endless hardship. When he was seven, he became so hungry that he ran away, then collapsed by the roadside. He thought he would starve to death, but a kind family took him in.
From the moment Fang Fuyin's family took him in, Zhou Xunyi felt he was beyond saving. He and Fang Fuyin grew up together for eight years, but before he could see her blossom into a graceful young woman, the Zhou family took him back to Jiangzhou.
It took him two years to gain full control of the Zhou family's assets. At last, the day his girl came of age arrived. He set off from Jiangzhou for the Fang family with two hundred loads of betrothal gifts, hoping to marry into the Fang family.
But... after the fire was extinguished, only ruined walls remained. In a remote mountain valley stood four mounds of earth. His family, the girl he loved... how could they have been buried so long ago?
Please note before reading:
1. The female lead has a cute poker face and is a little absent-minded. She charms people without realizing it.
2. The male lead is a green tea type with a flirtatious, courtesan-like manner.
3. A everyone-loves-the-female-lead setup, with both men and women falling for her. A little Mary Sue.
4. There is a martial world setting, but no plot about wandering the martial world.
5. Light political scheming. The author is too dumb to write anything too complex.

I'm so angry. I typed more than a thousand words diligently, but the network card failed and I couldn't save the manuscript. All the words I typed were lost [Joker]
