Her entire family was slaughtered. She was the only one spared, still a young child at the time, when a modern soul from a thousand years in the future transmigrated into her body. This unexpected new life made her the sole survivor of the massacre, the one who slipped through the net.
Armed with the specialized skills unique to her modern soul, she swears to use modern forensic medicine to peel away the layers of deception surrounding the wrongful case from years ago. In a corrupt dynasty, mired in ignorance and rigid hierarchy, she will seek long-delayed justice for her dead family and shatter the strict social order designed to protect the powerful.
As one seemingly unrelated mystery after another is solved, clues that have been tangled for years link together like a chain. In the end, every lead points to the injustice that destroyed her family. The truth is drawing ever closer.
She forms a political alliance with a prince who has also suffered a devastating upheaval and has been lying low in the imperial capital. They support one another as they navigate the capital’s treacherous court.
With every step as precarious as walking on thin ice, how will they choose between a path of revenge stained with blood and fire and their duty to the people and country, which holds the fate of all under heaven? Can they find an ending that lets them have both?
