A phoenix-born legitimate daughter returns with destiny on her side, bringing a tide of blood back to the ninefold palace!
Yuan Zhao is reborn amid the flames of the Cold Palace, and finally learns that she gave her heart to the wrong man in her previous life. The sweet words of the scum prince and her scheming half-sister were death warrants, meant to strip her bones and drink her blood! In this life, she knocks on the door of a hidden secret with a purple jade bangle, and stirs up the court with her phoenix destiny. When the nine stars align and illuminate a dry well deep in the palace, the bloody truth hidden for twenty years finally comes to light: the so-called massacre of her family was a knife delivered by her own kin, and the so-called fated Phoenix Maiden was bait for jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards! Watch as the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household tears away the mask of hypocrisy and carves a bloody path through the whirlpool of political intrigue. The Prince of Zhenbei presses the cold gleam of his armor against her throat. "You want this realm?" She turns the dagger around and plunges it into his heart. "I want this cannibalistic world to be buried with my mother!"
