She was the prime minister's legitimate daughter, but after her father was framed for taking bribes and embezzling public funds, the entire family was exiled to the northern frontier. Once hailed for her extraordinary talent, Xu Jinxi became the laughingstock of the Eastern Capital. She had never believed that her father would take bribes. He had worked diligently his entire life for the good of the realm, yet this was how it ended: “When the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the hare is dead, the hound is cooked.”
On the way to the northern frontier, assassins attacked. To protect her family, she threw herself in front of them. Her girlhood ended then and there. As she lay dying, Xu Jinxi was filled with resentment that she had been unable to clear her father's name.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Qingzhou, someone slowly opened their eyes. “Wait, did I just come back from the dead?” Xu Jinxi was utterly confused. With a new identity and a fresh start, she rolled up her sleeves, got her biased father under control, trampled her wicked stepmother, and made short work of the villains. Of course, her ultimate goal was to clear her father's name. After all, you should never forget why you started.
