Shen Weiwan becomes embroiled in the Han-Xiongnu conflict as she seeks to uncover the truth behind her father's case and the old scandal involving the Eastern Palace. From the ghostly shadows of Kunning Palace to the trade routes of the Western Regions, she uses the tiger tally as a key and her medical texts as a blade, tracing the secret connections of the Guixu Bureau and linking the sacrifices and steadfast resolve beneath the roses. When the people's hearts become the broadest frontier, buried secrets and a guardianship that transcends ethnic lines will finally bloom in the dawn of peace.
