In the eastern suburbs of Mingzhu, there is a stretch of villas where only the wealthy and noble reside.
Despite the recent temperatures in Mingzhu consistently being above thirty degrees, a woman lay in a villa, covered up with three layers of quilts.
Even so, the woman's face showed a markedly poor complexion, shivering uncontrollably, leading one to wonder if she might depart from this world at any moment.
"Xinyue, are you feeling any better?" a woman in her forties asked, wiping the body of the woman on the bed with a towel while looking at her with concern. Her eyes were red and swollen from recent tears.
The girl lying in the bed had a stunningly beautiful face, with her oval-shaped face, crescent eyebrows, a prominent nose, and lips lightly pursed. If not for her pale complexion making her look unwell, she would undoubtedly be a woman of unparalleled beauty.
