When he woke up, the blood-stained jade pendant in his hand seemed to be the key to the entanglement of fate. On the surface, Lin'an City is a prosperous city, but in reality, there are undercurrents. Thousand-year-old families and upstarts are fighting for power, dragging the entire dynasty into the abyss.

They tried to cover up the truth about the fraud in the imperial examination and slander Zhan Pei, causing her to be misunderstood by the world.
