Cangling's Journey South

A resourceful, two-faced female strategist versus a principled and upright master of flood-control arts, a rare talent in the world.

Du Chunyuan was once the happiest legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household in all of Bianjing.

But when she was eight, she witnessed her mother being poisoned. The accomplice was someone close to her, and she swore to avenge her mother.

She kept her feelings buried.

She held herself back.

Naive and domineering became the words everyone associated with her.

When the censor-in-chief impeached her late father, she stormed straight into the palace and shaved his head.

When she suspected that her close friend had been harmed by the son of the Marquis of Zhongwu, she promptly broke his leg.

And so she earned herself another title: Bianjing’s number-one villainess.

When the emperor found out, he was furious. He sent her away from the capital to be raised by her maternal grandfather.

Three years later, Du Chunyuan returned to Bianjing, setting off a chain of events.

She would deal with the accomplices, find the real culprit, and make allies.

She entered the Imperial College to seek justice for her deceased friend.

Who could have guessed she would uncover a shocking conspiracy,

and even expose a massacre of an entire family from decades ago?
