The pen of history is like iron, and it can also be used as a blade!
After a conspiracy, the whole family of the historian Shen was executed. His father's blood was spattered in the annals of history, leaving only a blood-stained volume of "The Records of Chen Chen".
Shen Qingxian went from a noble lady in the clouds to a fugitive on a snowy night, with only a pen, a book in blood, and a heart-burning seed of revenge.
Incognito, she sneaked into the Imperial Academy, the center of imperial power, and vowed to use pen and ink as a sword to split the fog and bring justice to her family.
Above the court, there is a turbulent undercurrent.
She worked step by step, from a humble copywriter to a writing female historian, using her astonishing talent and learning as a sword to stir up the world.
Mysterious cases at the border, fraud in imperial examinations, palace secrets... One after another old cases come to light in her writing, pointing directly at the shadow of the supreme imperial power.
And her biggest calamity was the powerful man - Regent Xiao Zhi.
He is both good and evil, her opponent in chess, and he is also the one who regards her as a chess piece.
He watched her struggle with cold eyes, and rescued her when she was about to die; he used her to clean up the court, but she got a glimpse of the unknown weakness in his heart.
From mutual use to life and death, from chess games to alliances.
When the truth is revealed, the person behind the scenes turns out to be the person she least expected;
When Xiao Zhi wanted to stabilize the country, he personally pushed her into a desperate situation...
Shen Qingxian wiped away his blood and tears, stood proudly on the top of the court, and as a woman, made the strongest voice to this unfair world:
"Who will write this history will be decided by the winner. Now, I am the winner!"
The sinister and wise regent vs. The forbearing and ruthless female historian,
