The second young master of the Chu family had thought that when the family fell, not one of the hundred or so people who depended on it would escape unscathed. When Shen Yizhen, Great General of Huaihua, led his troops to arrest the Chu family, the old and young alike were thrown into prison. The servants and maids were either sent into military service or exiled. Chancellor Chu, once a powerful figure at court, was thrown behind bars, and the once-prosperous Chu family fell overnight. Chu Yang never expected that, by Shen Yizhen's absolute command, he alone would be taken from among the prisoners and brought before him, his life spared. But he didn't appreciate it at all. It was merely one abyss after another, and to him, there was no difference.
P.S.:
1. Main couple: Chu Yang (bottom) x Shen Yizhen (top)
Two secondary couples planned for now.
2. Important: This is my first time trying to write a story, so I'm sure there will be plenty of problems. Please don't hesitate to criticize and point them out. I'll do my best to polish every detail. I've tried to research the various aspects of ancient life that inevitably appear in the story, but I may still get some things wrong. If you spot anything, please don't hesitate to criticize that, too. I feel like I'm rambling now. Anyway, I'm both nervous and excited. I look forward to your guidance from here on out.
