Shen Jue was unmatched in talent and famous from a young age.
Though he was a nobleman, he cared about the suffering of the common people. After the old emperor entrusted the young emperor to his care, he worked tirelessly and pushed for reforms, saving the crumbling dynasty from ruin.
He was the unattainable moonlight in the hearts of countless noble young ladies in the capital.
Unfortunately, he was short-lived.
After his death, the young emperor, who had long suppressed his deep resentment toward Shen Jue, dug up his corpse and whipped it to vent his hatred. He even slaughtered ten generations of Shen Jue's family.
As it happened,
Jiang Shu was a distant cousin of Shen Jue's, connected to him by the thinnest of family ties.
The new emperor was debauched and tyrannical, while treacherous ministers brought calamity upon the realm.
Before Jiang Shu died, she witnessed people across the land forming volunteer armies of their own accord. They fought to clear Shen Jue's name, and rivers of blood flowed until not a single corpse remained intact.
The realm was in turmoil, and its people suffered.
When she opened her eyes again,
she had returned to ten years earlier, to the moment when the old emperor had just entrusted Shen Jue with the young emperor.
Jiang Shu: "..."
Looking at the three thousand retainers who were "clamoring to be fed," Jiang Shu picked up the family's treasured Mohist mechanical arts and decided to take them to the capital to seek Shen Jue's support!
She had died because of him in her previous life.
Now she had to recruit worthy people. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to support all these people for her, right?
Tips: The heroine is a descendant of the Mohist leader and a master of cold-weapon craftsmanship. She has many retainers. The male lead is not what he seems, a sickly man who's devious and calculating.
Theme: Happiness comes first
