[Strong female lead + political intrigue + revenge + turbulent times + two equally powerful leads]
In the sixteenth year of the Jingkang era, Gu Ningqi, crown prince of Southern Chu, captures the capital of the Yu Kingdom.
As fires rage across the city, Ji Yue, her face smeared with grime, is escorted toward the outskirts under the protection of palace guards.
Crystal-clear tears slide from her eyes. All traces of innocence have vanished from her young face, leaving only a twisted expression.
Her bloodshot eyes are fixed on the head hanging high on the city wall.
“Father!”
Eleven years later, a young merchant named Lu Lin'an arrives in the capital of Southern Chu.
He cultivates ties with the powerful and visits renowned scholars. In just a few short months, he becomes the talk of all Southern Chu.
Beneath the capital's peaceful facade, undercurrents begin to churn.
No one notices that the exceptionally handsome face of Lu Lin'an conceals a deep, searing hatred.
The vengeful ghost of hell has arrived. A storm of blood and violence is bound to engulf the realm.
