I Came to the Capital to Seek Revenge

Before her adoptive father died, he held Ying Xiaoman’s hand and said, “Hold, hold, hold–”

Ying Xiaoman hugged her adoptive father with tears in her eyes.

Her adoptive father stared and held his breath, and squeezed out the last word with hatred: “- revenge!”

Ying Xiaoman packed her bags and came to the capital to fulfill her adoptive father’s last wish.

She wanted to kill the dog official in the capital, Yan Rongshi.

The capital is very big, and there are many good-looking people. On an ordinary rainy day, she saved a dying man who was particularly good-looking.

The good-looking man opened his eyes weakly and stared at her for a long time.

He said in a trance: “The bright pearls are bathed in light, and the black clothes are stained with dust. Like a light cloud covering the moon, and like snow blown back by the wind…”

Ying Xiaoman: “I don’t understand, speak human language.”

The man: “…”

The man changed his speech and said: “I will repay you for saving my life. No matter what the lady wants, I can get it for her.”

Ying Xiaoman: “I want to kill Yan Rongshi, the dog official in the capital.”

The man: “…”

Ying Xiaoman was very satisfied with the man’s promise. “By the way, I haven’t asked you what your name is?”

The man said, “Yan Qi (7).”

Ying Xiaoman was surprised, “Your last name is Yan too? What’s the relationship between you and the dog official Yan Rongshi?”

Yan Qi remained calm, “The dog official Yan Rongshi and I live under the same roof. Although we are distant relatives, we have a blood feud.”

Ying Xiaoman exclaimed, “The big families in the capital are so complicated.”

…

It was a long time later that Ying Xiaoman accidentally learned that the young head of the Yan family, Yan Rongshi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple… is the seventh.
