Shen Mingyue was born into an official family, and her father was an upright man. She lived a trouble-free life as a lady until she was seventeen years old. When she was seventeen years old, her father was murdered by an adulterer. When she learned that the Shen family would be ransacked, her childhood playmate Qing'er pretended to be Shen Mingyue and died on her behalf. Since then, there has been no more "Shen Mingyue" in the world. Shen Mingyue fled from Jingzhou to Chang'an, witnessed his parents being beheaded, changed his name to "Lin Hezhi", and lived in a brothel called "Jingque Tower". She lingered with hatred for the emperor, and then because of the appearance of Li Jiaoyi, she fell into a painful and tangled love.
