When Wen Yin was a child, his family was poor and he was sold as a lean horse. When he grew up, he was given to the regent Chu Shen as a concubine. Others said that he was destined to be rich and powerful.
But Wen Yin had someone in her heart, and the person she wanted to marry was her scholar cousin. On the day of the Lantern Festival, thieves made trouble at the lantern festival, and Wen Yin took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
Wen Yin was a filial subordinate, and Chu Shen didn't think much of her at first, but she was gentle and meticulous in her daily life, and she was very charming in the Chenghuan tent at night. Chu Shen was very satisfied with her, so he gave her some dignity.
I thought it was nothing more than that.
It wasn't until Wen Yin's death that there was no body left, and Chu Shen was so heartbroken that he couldn't bear to fall ill, then he realized that this inconspicuous woman had already entered his heart unknowingly.
For the sake of a concubine, Chu Shen vowed to observe filial piety for three years, which became an infatuation in the capital.
A year later, Chu Shen went to Yangzhou to supervise the salt tax. At the gate of the hotel where he was staying, he bumped into the clerk who came to deliver the invitation to the prefect, and Wen Yin, who was following him with a shy look on his face.
Chu Shen's sharp gaze cut through him like a knife, but Wen Yin remained calm and composed, as if she had never known him before. Instead, she took out her handkerchief to wipe her cousin's sweat as if there was no one around.
Chu Shen arrested Wen Yin on the spot and locked her up. He pressed Wen Yin against the wall, grabbed Wen Yin's shaky throat, and smiled evilly, "You die, or he dies, it's your choice."
Although Wen Yin was greedy for life and afraid of death, she still said with difficulty: "If I die, he will live."
Chu Shen's originally calm eyes suddenly became turbulent. He laid Wen Yin across the bed, tore off the thin clothes that covered her body, and bullied her forcefully, "Since you are bent on seeking death, I will take it upon myself to be safe."
