Xin Mingxiao has a face like Guanyin and does the deeds of a Bodhisattva, but he hides a murderous intention.
When she was four years old, Xin Mingxiao's father died on duty while managing floods. Her mother grieved and died in depression. She and her brother depended on each other for life. Fortunately, she was raised by the Pei family, a family friend, and she grew up without illness or disaster, becoming one of the many ladies in Beijing.
She could have chosen a husband of similar family status as her parents wished and spent the rest of her life peacefully.
But Yi Jingcang, the famous and romantic dandy in the capital, provoked her. He risked his life for her and walked through the torrent late at night. However, after winning her heart, he trampled on her dignity.
He was aloof and full of luxury, but there was disdain in his eyes. He sneered at her for her mediocre appearance, humble family background, and the loss of her father and mother. How could she deserve the position of his eldest son and wife.
When she was devastated, news came that her brother had fallen into the water and died, and her adopted sister, who loved her brother deeply, died in love by jumping into the river. The eldest brother of the family squandered all the family wealth just for justice, but ended up with an accidental drowning.
Both parents of the Pei family passed away one after another, and her adopted brother was suppressed in the officialdom. In two years, she and her adopted brother suffered as much as a lost dog. She was exhausted mentally and she only felt that the world was unfair and the power was overwhelming.
Fortunately, her master, Taoist Tianwei, made a prophecy and sent her to the Duke of Wei's palace to marry Yi Jingcang, who was already unconscious and could no longer humiliate her.
By leveraging the power of Duke Wei, she gained a good reputation and climbed to the highest position of power in the world.
Intention: If you don't fight for it, it will be gone.
