Shen Zhaо is the last descendant of the former dynasty’s secret guards. After lying low for ten years, she assumes the identity of a merchant family’s legitimate daughter, all to take bloody revenge on her enemies.
But when she finally gets close to Xiao Jingheng, the regent who wields power over the entire court, she discovers that the flame tattoo on his wrist is identical to the one worn by the masked man who saved her on that rainy night years ago.
“You want to kill me?” he says with a smile, drinking the poisoned tea she offers him as his fingertips brush the birthmark on her neck. “What a coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you, too.”
In this game of wits, where lies are the blades, whoever falls first is the one who loses.
