Price of Honor

In the Spring and Autumn period, after the Jin minister Fan Xuanzi expels Luan Ying and executes ten allied families, a young woman named A-Heng discovers that the purge masks a far more personal secret. As she seeks justice for the dead, she unearths the revered elder’s desperate campaign to obliterate every witness to his lowly origins. In a world where reputation outweighs truth, her quest reveals that a society’s fairness is a lie if it refuses to give an account to the murdered. A tragic tale of buried pasts and unavenged souls, steeped in the poignant cruelty characteristic of Fei Wo Si Cun’s storytelling.
