Introduction:
After ten years in the fire, the stars return. A well-planned massacre left Weixing Shu, the daughter of a general, with her family and family destroyed, and she was saddled with a blood feud. She was adopted by the Phantom Palace, a mysterious organization in the world of martial arts, and was renamed "Little Star" and acquired a unique skill. Ten years later, she concealed her identity, sneaked into the capital, and became the personal maid of Li Xiyue, the daughter of Li Haoqing, the Minister of Rites, vowing to find out the truth and kill the enemy.
However, the capital city is turbulent and treacherous, and it is far from simple as she imagined.
Above the court, the powerful officials Beimingjia are very ambitious and keep secret about old cases; deep in the palace, the Shangguan Empress and her party are frequently making moves and secretly colluding with border forces; even the eldest lady Li Xiyue, whom she is sworn to protect, is not as gentle and simple as she appears - secret passages, secret codes, hidden martial arts, and the meaningful phrase "When will the wine be full when the wine is spilled?"... She seems to have understood everything, and there is an unpredictable meaning hidden under her gentle eyes.
Her former childhood sweetheart and playmate are now unpredictable masters and servants; the eldest son Bei Mingchen, who appears to be caring on the surface, has other agendas behind his back; the guardian of the Phantom Palace, his father's old subordinates, the mysterious assassin... All forces are surrounding her, and she is gradually involved in a larger whirlpool of conspiracy.
When the pieces of the truth were gradually pieced together, Xiaoxing suddenly discovered that the fire that devoured everything in her was just the tip of the iceberg. Her road to revenge has long been closely intertwined with power struggles in the court, wars on the border, and secrets in the palace.
Is it the chess piece or the chess player? To join hands or to oppose each other?
In the web of lies and truth, she must move forward cautiously and make a choice between protection and revenge before she can survive the abyss.
