Gentle, resilient umbrella craftswoman from a fallen family × stern, protective governor of cold exterior and warm heart
Everyone says the Su family’s daughter in Qianzhou was born unlucky.
Her father, Su Zheng, once served in the capital as an assistant director of the Directorate of Construction. But after an imperial decree accused him of “defying his superiors,” that charge was branded on his back for good.
In a single night, the sprawling Su estate fell apart.
A year later, Su Zheng was released from prison, stripped of his office, and demoted. His whole family was sent to Qianzhou.
She made a living with her skill at crafting umbrellas, opening a shop that sold oil-paper umbrellas.
Then the new governor, Shen Ce, took office, and all of Qianzhou was thrown into an uproar.
At Shen Ce’s welcoming banquet,
he told the officials, “Starting with you, go one by one. State your name, your position, and your achievements from the past six months.”
He told the aristocratic families, “Why are you all in such a hurry, heads of household? When do you plan to return the public land you’ve occupied?”
In a single night, he stirred up a storm across Qianzhou.
After the two form an alliance,
In the governor’s residence, Shen Ce wears an utterly untroubled expression. “I’m her ally. Supporting her is only what I should do.”
The guard smiles and says nothing.
At the umbrella shop, Su Wenxing looks just as matter-of-fact. “He’s my ally. Supporting me is only what he should do.”
Her junior fellow disciple nods, finding it perfectly reasonable.
One pursues business, the other politics. Step by step, they make their way to the capital and bring to light the old Su family case from ten years ago.
“You all want her to marry me simply because you’re afraid her guild will get in the way of your political affairs!” Shen Ce slams down his wine cup and rises to his feet.
“Well, I refuse. I’ll make sure her reputation doesn’t hold her back, then I’ll collect every last debt the Su family is owed,”
“one by one.”
