Book Synopsis
In a deep courtyard of Jiangnan, a red silk veil entangles two generations of tragic fate. The rural girl Shen Ahan, sold off by her own mother, believed that marrying into the Ye Family was her destiny as a bride meant to bring good fortune. However, as the Red Veil was lifted, she fell into hell—Old Master Ye, in his sixties, grinned maliciously as he grasped her flesh, while in the next room, the limping and sinister Young Master struck a match with a crackling sound.
The fragrance of her body became both her original sin and her weapon. As the master used silver chopsticks to pry open her clothing and sip from her essence, as the Young Master tore apart her undergarments in the pouring rain, and as the Second Mistress brought forth a bowl of milk laced with arsenic to her lips, Ahan finally understood the cruel rules of this house that devours its own. In the dead of night, she stuffed the blood-stained swaddling into the fire pit, watching the flames lick away the secrets of twenty-five years ago—the pair of jade-like breasts that everyone coveted should have adorned the true daughter of the Ye Family.
