On the night of a lunar eclipse, Xie Wan was marked as the ill-fated lone star.
Growing up in a Taoist temple, Xie Wan returned home to find herself without her parents. She faced external threats from vicious wolves while dealing with younger brothers crying for food.
To make matters worse, her biased grandmother had her heart set on driving Xie Wan out of the residence.
A certain man said, "Enough with the preambles, get to the point!"
"Oh," Xie Wan smiled faintly, "the point is, I've taken a liking to someone. I'll plan step by step, enticing him, using his influence to establish my family's power, and employing his help to uncover the truth."
The man wasn't pleased, "Aren't you supposed to seize the opportunity and take me down?"
Xie Wan replied calmly, "No hurry, no hurry. What's in the bowl won't go cold, even if we wait to eat it later."
The man retorted, "I feel pretty urgent though."

Ma Yushan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.


Li Ze was growing impatient. He had wanted Cai Yi to confess to shed light on the fact that he had been alone in a room with Xie Wan after ingesting the drug. Even if they hadn't gone all the way, something must have happened. Why wasn't anyone mentioning it?

Before Li Ze could finish his words, his command was abruptly interrupted by Li Yu, who coldly commanded, "Death by beating."


The outcome was as expected, and no one present showed any particular reaction, not even Cai Yi herself, who remained kneeling on the ground. 


Prince Ma immediately ordered a stool and a plank to be brought forward. Many noblewomen dared not watch, yet with Li Yu present, they didn't dare to utter a word of protest.


Execution by Beating
