The Scarlet Reckoning

The Rein family possessed an invaluable heirloom, a jade pendant of immense worth. The Lane family, who monopolized the grain trade, set their sights on acquiring this treasure. To do so, they decided to use Shaun Silas, a newly-appointed General, as their pawn. The Lane family framed Chloe's father for opium smuggling, leading to his untimely death. But they didn’t anticipate that Shaun would accidentally discover Chloe's mother imprisoned.
