In the spring of the eighteenth year of Chongqi, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yunzhou Army died mysteriously overnight, shocking the government and the public.
At the same time, Lu Shiming, the eldest son of Duke Wei, who was far away in the capital, fell ill and his life hung on a thread.
Black smoke also billowed out of the Lu family's ancestral graves for three days and three nights.
For a time, people were panicked and rumors spread.
Everyone in the world knew that Lu Shiming had been punished by heaven, and that everyone in the Duke's mansion would suffer backlash.
Until a young woman in plain clothes stepped into the Lu family's house with a green silk oil umbrella on her back.
"I am the only one who can save Lu Shiming, but if I save him, his life will be mine."
