Back then, Jun Qing, who already had a wife and children, fell in love with Moyan's mother at first sight, and despite his family's opposition, he insisted on marrying her.
Seeing her obedient eldest son so defiant for the sake of a commoner woman, the old lady of the Jun family naturally had no fondness for Moyan's mother.
During the years after Moyan's mother entered their home, the old lady always treated her with cold indifference.
Furthermore, the day of Moyan's birth was even more ominous—
It was the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the Ghost Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Day.
On the day Moyan was born, the entire Capital City was hit by seven days of torrential rain, and countless birds perished.
The most deaths were of crows.
And these crows, of all places, chose to die at the Jun family's residence.
Thousands of crows circled over the Jun family estate for seven days and nights.
