A sweeping tale of rebirth from despair, political intrigue, and steadfast devotion.
The prosperous capital is turned upside down overnight. The Yong'an Marquis Manor is accused of treason and wiped out. The orphaned Zhen Jiafu narrowly escapes the night of blood and fire, penniless and carrying only a mysterious agarwood bracelet her aunt pressed into her hand before dying, along with a cryptic final message. The once-spoiled young lady of a noble family becomes a wanted criminal in the blink of an eye, embarking on a long flight from the law.
Ahead lies a nationwide dragnet of wanted notices and the Eastern Depot's ruthless agents. Behind her are the bloody vendetta over her family's downfall and layer upon layer of mysteries. What secret does the seemingly ordinary wooden bracelet conceal, one powerful enough to shake the court to its foundations? And how will a destitute, helpless young woman struggle to survive in this world?
In her darkest hour, she meets Gu Yankai, a frontier army commander who, like her, has concealed his identity and bears the pain of the past. They go from suspicion and mutual exploitation to understanding and cherishing one another, relying on each other as they navigate the turbulent political and martial worlds amid the chaos of the age. From the desolate deserts of the northern frontier to the gentle, prosperous towns of Jiangnan; from the struggle to survive in bustling streets and alleys to the perilous games within the imperial palace.
With intelligence and tenacity, Zhen Jiafu lays her plans step by step from humble beginnings, maneuvering among the various powers and gradually building her own intelligence network. She uncovers the truth behind her family's wrongful conviction and brings to light a long-buried secret of the imperial house. She must not only clear her name, but also carve out a path to a blessed future for herself and the one she loves in this storm-tossed age.
This is a love that crosses mountains, seas, and social divides, as well as the story of an orphaned girl reborn from the ashes
After struggling for a long time, I couldn't escape. It was quite twists and turns, but I just couldn't figure it out. Where did that earring come from? As mentioned before, she didn't even find the money herself. She took a shower and changed clothes without showing up. Suddenly, someone from Dongchang found it on the ground. Don't take it too seriously.
The plots are intertwined, but it's a bit confusing to read.
Super nice, love watching it
