Treat It as a Good Deed

Winter in the imperial capital was bitterly cold and dry, with the outdoor air freezing one's nose and lips red without heating.

Over a thousand kilometers away, the coastal city of Donghai boasted a much milder climate. On its streets, young women in flowing dresses and impeccably styled professionals could be seen everywhere.

The Spring Festival had just passed, and the Lantern Festival was quickly approaching.

Normally a festive and jubilant occasion, the Wei household was eerily silent this year.

In previous years, heads of various territories would visit the Wei family on this day to deliver New Year's greetings to the family head and report their annual profits and losses.

This year, however, not a single visitor came.

It wasn't due to disobedience toward Wei Zhou. Although Wei Zhou was less capable than his elder brother, his generosity and charisma won him favor.
