Jinling Spring Shanghai Night

In the spring of the 23rd year of Guangxu's reign, the Jia Mansion in Jinling was decorated with lanterns and colors to celebrate the engagement of the eldest lady Jia Min to Du Shiqing, the young master of the Du family in Shanghai. This marriage, known as a "golden and jade marriage", turned into a Shura scene overnight - Jia Min's personal maid Qingwen was found hanging from a beam in Du Shiqing's room, clutching a blood-stained handkerchief embroidered with the Du family emblem. When Jia Min unfolded the handkerchief tremblingly, she saw not only her lover's betrayal, but also a shocking secret that could overturn two families. The Yangtze River murder case that made the Jia and Du families form an alliance twenty years ago turned out to have a hidden agenda; the oath of blood-based alliance between father Jia Zheng and Mr. Du turned out to be a lie paved with countless innocent souls. From this moment on, the noble daughter who once recited poems and painted in Xiaoxiang Pavilion disappeared. Instead, there is a chess player dancing on the tip of a knife. She will use the skills of insight into people's hearts learned in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the cold decision-making of "The Godfather" to find a bloody road of survival between love and hatred, family and self. When the truth was revealed like peeling bamboo shoots, Jia Min discovered that the cruelest game was not in the mall, but in the pillow. Is the man who sleeps with her every night a sincere lover, or a scheming avenger? And can she hold on to the last glimmer of humanity when her family is overturned?
