Lin Zhaozhao, who came from a family of historians, was framed to death because her father wrote history directly. Her mother took her to live in seclusion and taught her that "the historical pen is as sharp as a knife and should be used to write the truth." After she came of age, she entered the palace and became a female historian. With her super powers of observation and photographic memory, she uncovered the hypocrisy of the emperor and the concubines' conspiracies from the details of the palace. She used written records of the truth as a weapon to slap villains in the face and protect the innocent. Finally, she revealed the cause of the death of the late emperor and her father's unjust case, letting the truth be revealed to the world, and realizing the ideal of "writing the history to determine the world."
