The Brocade Hues Bring the Traveler Home

Emperor Xie Heng, reborn with the script of his past life in hand, vows to eliminate every hidden threat. At a palace banquet, Shen Zhiwei of the Shen family, who should have been a mere bystander, crashes into his game with a stunning reversal that turns shattered jade into an auspicious sign.

Her thinking is unfathomable, and the scope of her vision is beyond his understanding. Is she a pawn, or an anomaly like him?

Shen Zhiwei knows all too well that the man on the dragon throne looks at her with far more curiosity than admiration. In this world that devours the weak, the only things she can rely on are modern knowledge and psychological tactics.

And so a high-stakes game quietly begins: he lays traps to test her, and she breaks them and strikes back. Forced to join forces time and again, two lonely souls waver between suspicion and understanding, until they discover that the other is the only person like them in this world.
