The Gu family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. On the surface, it runs a salt transportation and medicine shop, but secretly guards an old covenant that lasts for a hundred years.
Sixteen years ago, the Gu family suffered a great disaster.
The infant Gu Qideng was brought back by the Gu family's mistress and became the youngest daughter of the Gu family.
She always thought that she was an abandoned baby, and she always knew that she and her three brothers were not related by blood.
There are four ever-burning lanterns in the Gu family ancestral hall. The first three lamps are dedicated to the successive heads of the Gu family, but the fourth lamp is placed outside the ancestral hall, without a tablet or name, and the lamp oil is mixed with the rare red sand incense.
Every time he offered sacrifices, Gu Qideng could not enter the ancestral hall and could only watch from a distance.
Later she learned that the fourth lamp was not lit for the ancestors of the Gu family, but for the "returners".
The Gu family must sacrifice a woman with a special bloodline every sixteen years to suppress the secrets hidden in the underground palace of the old home.
Gu Qidian is not an outsider to the Gu family - she is precisely the person the Gu family wants to hide the most and must hand over the most.
Among them, only Gu Changchuan made her feel:
Instead of being taken away, she walked towards him on her own.
Intention: When everyone says "This is for your own good", is anyone willing to ask: Do you want it yourself?
