The Velvet Shade was originally just one tavern in the city, started by a relative of Xu Zhihao. This was actually an unspoken joke between the nobles.
It was not until the fifteenth year of the Tianyou Era when Xu Zhihao took action, killing the traitors overnight and solidifying his grip on power. Some people looked into this afterward, and pieced the puzzle together. It was one coincidence after another, as if someone was guiding them. Eventually, the clues pointed to the Velvet Shade.
They were stunned at first, but soon realized that the butt of the joke in the past has soared beyond their reach. Countless nobles and officials were now lost among the blossoms, buying joy with gold. The tangled web of power hid behind the dazzling splendor of flowers, veiled by the softness of the crimson world.
