Volume 1 of the Brocade of Spring: the Smokey Moon over Qinhuai

Shen Changning died twice. For the first time, she died on the Cold Food Festival in the nineteenth year of Zhengde. Beside the Maple Bridge, all the peach blossoms fell, the concubine drank the poisoned wine with her own hands, and the husband watched coldly. She protected the three-month pregnancy in her belly, and even though she had lost all her blood, she could not get the man to look back. The second time, she died in the spring of the fifteenth year of Zhengde. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the carved window lattice and the peach blossoms blooming just outside the window. The concubine pretends to be weak and sympathetic, and her husband from the previous life pretends to come to her rescue. She picked up the teacup, covered her lips and sneered—— In this life, she will personally send this couple to the right path.

On the wedding night, the man lifted his hijab and his eyes were as gentle as water: "Princess, don't be nervous. Although I am sick, I can still protect you." Later she discovered—— Her sickly husband disappears into the darkness of the Qinhuai River every night, secretly controlling the largest intelligence network in the south of the Yangtze River, "Yanshui Pavilion". Her genius son could recite "The Art of War" at the age of three. He pestered his father who was "seriously ill and couldn't go out" every day to teach him how to read ledgers and read people's hearts. And the Yingtian Mansion Yamen who killed her in her previous life is walking towards the abyss of eternal destruction step by step under her guidance...
