Everyone said that Wei Zifu was an easy-going and humble woman, as generous as she was benevolent.

Even you.

So I never once told you that it was Wei Zifu who framed me for practicing witchcraft.

I had been wronged beyond salvation, and you were convinced that I was the mastermind.

In the grand arrest which swept across the country, I was seized.

Throughout it all, your expression was colder than ice.

Beside you stood Wei Zifu, delicate and pretty.
