Xiyan, also known as the morning glory, blooms at dawn and withers at dusk, revealing all it has in a single, brief day.

Taking this as her inspiration, she assumes the name Xiao Xiyan and returns to Chang'an seven years later.
Strange events begin to unfold throughout Chang'an...
The bloody case sealed away seven years ago slowly comes to light.
