Introduction to "Secret Shadows of Beijing: The Wind and Frost in the Deep Garden of the Zhumen"
The road to Beijing is far away, the gates are locked, and the courtyards hide countless conspiracies.
Lin Shuyue was originally the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, but her family was ruined overnight because of her uncle Lin Zhongshan's ambition. In order to clear up the grievances of her father and brother, she took off her red makeup and hid her sharp edge. She used wisdom as her blade and courage as her armor, dealing with the intrigues of the court and the undercurrents of the world.
In the red building, she pretended to be a rich lady, taking the secret letter of her father's injustice case from Su Wanwan's pipa peg, and peeked into the Caogang's secret message on Meiwu's belt of tangerine; in the Wenxiang teahouse, She narrowly meets the Shadow Pavilion killer, but unexpectedly uncovers the mystery of the life experience of the loyal minister's daughter Yue Ji; in the secret passage of the Hou Mansion, she intercepts the embezzled military pay, which adds to the evidence of Lin Zhongshan and Li Xiuwen's crimes.
Shen Yanzhi, the gentle young man, whose black iron folding fan hides everything in the world, is her support in the dark night and the concern in her heart. The two work together to break the situation, from the weird things in the Buddhist hall to the palace secrets, from the suspicion of the substitute to the family conspiracy, they step on the edge of the knife every step of the way, but they also create the sweetest love in the interdependence of life and death.
There are also Yun Shu from the Qingyun Sword Sect, Mei Wu, the righteous daughter of the leader of the Cao Gang, the secretive old madam Hong Gu, and Wang Tangjiang, who uses sugar paintings to convey messages... Various characters are intertwined into a web, including the happy grudges of knights in the world, the loyalty and treachery of court officials, and the sympathy between women.
When all the clues point to the palace banquet in the palace hall, and when all the grievances are about to be vindicated in the bell of justice, Lin Shuyue finally understands that the so-called peace and tranquility never come by waiting, but by wisdom, courage, and the kindness of the people around her.
