In the early years of the Qing Kingdom, the late emperor passed away, and according to his final decree, the third prince, Lin Zixuan, succeeded him. It was rumored that during the late emperor’s reign, he had ordered the execution of the entire Mu family, a household of valiant heroes. The reason was that royal grain shipments had been robbed. Rumors flew about who was responsible, and someone accused General Mu. Ministers who wanted to bring down the Mu family fanned the flames behind the scenes. Unable to silence the public, the late emperor had no choice but to order the Mu family executed under the law. The truth was buried with them. But no one knew that the day the Mu family was executed was also the day their eldest daughter came of age. Nor did anyone know that Mu Yunyan was the sole survivor. After years of planning, she returned for one reason: to claim the position from which she could decide anyone’s fate with a single word, reveal the truth to the world, and make sure that everyone who had framed the Mu family would never rise again.
