## Background

Zheng Dan is the daughter of Zheng Yuteng and fiancée of Sang Clan's Sang Qian. She was engaged for political reasons.

In the Ten Great Beauties of Brightmoon Academy's Sweetheart Ranking, she is ranked 8th.

To ease the burden of her parents and improve the standing of Zheng Clan, she established the Whale Gang which is involved in illicit salt business.

## Plotline

Initially, Zheng Dan was tasked to lay honey trap for Zu An by her fiancee, Sang Qian, to steal the promissory note for business of Plum Blossom Sect. During these interactions, she developed complicated feelings for Zu An which she had never felt before.

It is later revealed that she is the boss of the Whale Gang. Shortly after Zu An discovers this fact, her second in command in the gang, Liu Chan, initiates a coup de tat in the gang along with Chen Xuan. She is subsequently poisoned with an aphrodisiac and is saved by Zu An. They escape into Hidden Dragon Mountain where they discover a dragon who attacks them and captures Zheng Dan. Zu An then baits their pursuers into the dragon, who is killed in the ensuing fight. She and Zu An then have sex to resolve the aphrodisiac's effects.

Zheng Dan and Zu An later meet each other daily with the guise of teacher and student to have love sessions.

However she was still committed to Sang Qian and in order not to bring calamity to the Zheng Clan she decided not to run away with Zu An and kept the commitment.

However, on their wedding day, a great calamity befell the Sang Clan. An imperial edict brought in personally by a King of the empire accusing the Sang Clan's father and son of forging evidence to slander local authorities and court ministers, causing disorder in the court, therefore their official positions were withdrawn and both would be sent to the capital for trial.

Unfortunately for her and the Zheng Clan for her connection to the Sang Clan she would also be detained and if convicted the Zheng Clan could be exterminated by association.
