The Tale of the Lost Hairpin

In the third year of the Jin'an era, the country was recovering and the people lived in peace. Beneath the walls of the capital, a rice merchant named Jiang rose to prominence. In just one year, the young master of the Jiang family became notorious throughout the capital for his wicked deeds.

One night, as rain poured down, rumors spread that the Jiang family's young master had abducted a beautiful young woman and taken her back to his mansion. Even when the sun was high in the sky, neither of them had come out.

From then on, the young master of the Jiang family began a shamelessly happy life...

Pleasing his wife and raising children.

In the seventh year of the Anqing era, the crown prince ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Anqing.

That year, the young Master Jiang and his wife had just arrived in the capital and settled down when they were ambushed by bandits along the way. A great hero leapt off a cliff with their child in his arms. The Jiang family matriarch slipped the jade hairpin her mother had given her on her wedding day into the baby's swaddling clothes, hoping the child could escape as quickly as possible. The hero never made it to the agreed meeting place. Faced with the bandits, he jumped off the cliff, but the child survived.

Years later, the Jiang couple had become renowned in the capital, the foremost rice merchants in the city. But they had never given up hope of finding their child.

A golden hairpin brings two people together.

So, what happened in the end?

Everything follows its own course. Their day of reunion will come.
