Mu Wanruo watched Wei Mingsang receive his ceremonial cap, her eyes filled with hatred.
Her older brother, Mu Qingyun, had been as renowned as Wei Mingsang since childhood. Though young, Mu Qingyun was incredibly capable. The late Emperor had once praised him for possessing the talent of a Prime Minister, and thus granted him special permission to hold his coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen.
The Mu Family had been preparing for Mu Qingyun's coming-of-age ceremony, but before it could be held, he lost his life.
'This grand coming-of-age ceremony Wei Mingsang is having today... it should have been Mu Qingyun's.'
Though Mu Qingyun was born on the same day as her, he had always cared for her like a brother several years her senior.
Mu Qingyun died young, before he could even have his ceremony, yet Wei Mingsang's was so grand. 'By what right?'
A wave of unbearable heartache washed over Mu Wanruo at the thought.
