Ye Lan, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, suddenly suffered an accident when she was ten years old. His father, General Ye, was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and died unjustly. The Ye family fell from the clouds into the quagmire overnight, and his mother also died under the blow, leaving her and her younger siblings to live a hard life. The so-called relatives and friends who used to surround her all showed their ugly faces, trying to sell her into prostitution to pay off her debts.
But Ye Lan was not defeated by fate. She woke up in a desperate situation and embarked on the road to clear her father's wrongdoing by relying on the fragments of military symbols and clues left by her father. She disguised herself as a man and sneaked into Bailu Academy, where she interacted with dignitaries in the court and showed her talents in the academy while secretly collecting evidence. In the process, she discovered that her father's injustice was closely related to the mysterious Lotus Sect, and this organization had already infiltrated the court and controlled a larger conspiracy.
By chance, Ye Lan met the prince Xiao Yi, and the two reached a cooperation due to their common goal. With her extraordinary wisdom, tenacity and ever-improving martial arts, she worked step by step in the undercurrent of the court and the rivers and lakes, resolving crises time and time again. From the thrilling assassination in the darkroom, to the battle of wits in the academy, to the life-and-death showdown at the Bloody Night Banquet, Ye Lan goes further and further on the road to revenge, and gradually grows into a key figure who can influence the situation.
In the whirlpool of power and conspiracy, how will she protect her family and realize her ambitions? Let's see how the eldest daughter of the Ye family rises from adversity and writes her own legendary life.
