With her name sullied, accused of sedu cing men far and wide, she faces the perilous task of reclaiming her reputation and uncovering the truth behind the malicious gossip. As the insidious whispers of the villagers spiral out of control, Little Ru grapples with the heavy burden of her past while striving to not only protect herself but also to unveil the conspiracies hidden beneath the surface of village life. Armed with newfound courage, Little Ru seeks justice after being publicly ridiculed by local bullies, including her own aunt, who harbors a treacherous agenda.
