The empress of the Dayin Dynasty is vacant, aristocratic families are fighting for power, and the undercurrent of the "life-changing technique" between the Taoist temple and the Qin Tianjian is surging. The concubine Jiang Jinhuan died in front of the altar, and was bloodletted and sacrificed by the prince-in-law Xie Wujiu and the imperial sister Jiang Changning, just in exchange for the fate of "Fengxing". When she was on the verge of death, she burned three souls in order to be reborn. She returned to the age of seventeen when the begonia flowers bloomed. The mark of the black lotus between her collarbones became the key for her to glimpse the soul fire and reverse her destiny.
In this life, she puts away her innocence and holds the golden scissors in her hand. She not only wants to tear apart the corrupt officials of her scumbag father, expose the emperor's sister's disguise as a "menswear boss", but also make the traitors pay with blood. She transforms into a money-grabbing madman, sells the recipe for sesame wine to a brothel, uses account books to smash political opponents into silence, and every slap in the face is accompanied by the crisp sound of silver notes falling to the ground. But the shadow of Guixu never dissipated, and the price of the sacrifice was always with her - she discovered that Xiao Buci, the young marquis, had voluntarily given up half of his soul to save her, and suffered from a strange disease that was "painless but the more he was hurt, the more he smiled".
There is a hidden murderous intention in the court draft, the imperial edict of the legendary empress raises bloodline doubts, the confrontation between the burning incense and the laughing incense stirs the hearts of the people, and the final showdown between the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and the Guixu Gate is finally coming. Jiang Jinhuan is at every step in the chess game of power, but it is difficult to avoid the emotional entanglement with Xiao Buci: he shields her from arrows and poisons, and she saves his blood with her mouth; he asks for a sacrifice in exchange for his life, but she refuses to "bury her bones again." When Angelica Ruins opened, she kicked her enemy into the black water, but she chose not to enter reincarnation forever, leaving him to guard the empty city for three hundred years.
"I sacrificed three souls just to drag you down from the altar."
