Five years ago, a bloody upheaval swept through the capital, leaving the once-prominent Su family with only a brother and sister. Su Mo, suffering from an incurable illness, followed her older brother to their fief in Yecheng, counting down the few days she had left.
She thought her future would end like that of any ordinary young woman. But one day, she met Fu Ziyu and Xie Fei, and her life took an unknown turn.
.
Fu Ziyu, nephew of the Imperial Consort and assistant director of the Inspectorate, was ordered to come to Yecheng to investigate the old Shen Jia case from three years ago.
Xie Fei, nephew of the Crown Prince's tutor, was a rakish dandy obsessed with medicine and forensic examination.
.
Why is it you?
Who did Young Master Fu think it would be?
I thought the person the tutor sent me to find was your brother. I didn't expect it to be you.
.
May I call you Wanwan?
Su Mo paused, then smiled, her eyes curving.
Of course.
He was so foolish, not recognizing me. Xie Fei used to be chubby as a child, Su Mo thought.
.
This is a one-on-one romance.
Su Mo's love interest is Xie Fei.
Poor Fu Ziyu is the odd one out, the sort who is surrounded by couples and can only watch.
The career plot comes first, with romance as a supporting thread. It's a slow burn, so don't rush.
.
A new dynasty has just begun.
Good beginnings, bitter endings; all things return to the cycle of reincarnation.
Is this a futile struggle against the inevitable,
or is it like the Qin losing its hold on the realm, with all under heaven vying to claim it?
No matter who you are, the glory of an eternal dynasty is built on the lives of the innocent.
