The government arrested He Mingyuan, head of a Jiangnan silk-trading family, overnight. The boys in the family were either gambling or still underage, so his eldest daughter, He Wanlin, had no choice but to shoulder the family’s burdens. Only later did she learn that her father had been involved in activities to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming. Who was plotting against her family remained a mystery. Determined to uncover the conspiracy, He Wanlin ventured into danger alone and launched a campaign of revenge on behalf of her Jiangnan silk-trading family.
