Yan Hua transmigrates into another world and spends ten years hiding her talents, all so she can one day retire to the mountains.
But fate has other plans.
Her attempt to flee an arranged marriage fails. She is hunted by a secret assassination organization, disfigured, and thrown into the sea. Later, a dissolute prince rescues her. She puts on a mask, disguises herself as a man, and from then on lets her brilliance shine.
She tames fierce beasts, solves murder cases, and roots out corrupt officials. With a silver tongue, she opens doors in the imperial court, turns the tide, and saves the country from collapse.
When the land is finally at peace, she is left alone, with countless lives’ worth of blood on her hands.
On the day she goes into seclusion, the man who holds power over the entire court waits outside. His eyes and brows are as gentle as when they first met. He says, “My lady, let’s go home.”
