Irises appear in every street and alley of the An Kingdom. The common people revere them, officials fear them, and the court... Who could have guessed that the legitimate daughter of the An family, who never ventures beyond her home, is the seemingly frail master of the Iris Order? Within the household, she can keep her grandmother in check and help her mother manage the family, while also maintaining a balance among her younger siblings. Everyone knows the An family’s eldest daughter is learned, virtuous, and clever, but no one has seen her in black with her face veiled, snapping the wrist of a Zhao Kingdom spy with one hand. The Iris Order is spread throughout the Central Plains. Who could have imagined that a woman was the one stirring up the storm...
On this thorn-strewn path to power, she may enjoy endless glory, yet walk it utterly alone. Who will be the worthy man by her side all the way?
