In the Chu Dynasty, aristocratic families were intertwined, and the undercurrents of imperial power and nobles were surging.
Su Yao, the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, had her biological mother die young and was fostered by her grandmother in the countryside for twelve years. When he returned to Jiji Mansion, he became a thorn in the side of his stepmother Liu and his concubine Su Rou. They framed her for the crime of "disturbing the lintel", took away her identity, ruined her reputation, and finally a glass of poisoned wine made her die with hatred.
When the flames burned her body, she wept and swore that if there was an afterlife, she would make her enemies pay with their blood!
When he opened his eyes, he went back to the night before he was framed.
This time, she lost her cowardice in the country and transformed into a thorny rose with her past life memories and modern knowledge, her hidden edge.
Pretending to be obedient, he is actually making progress step by step: destroying the "innocent" mask of his concubine, tearing apart the "virtuous" image of his stepmother, making the Liu family's corruption and fraud evidence known to the world; rising through business, opening a restaurant, and making rouge. , Tongyinhao, making a lot of money, and weaving a network of connections covering both the government and the public; even in the turbulent palace, she knocked on the court door as a woman and became the first female official in Chu, stirring up the situation and balancing the powerful.
On the way to revenge, she meets the mysterious knight Ye Wuhen. He was an orphan from the previous dynasty and was responsible for restoring the country, but during his confrontation with her, he was ruthlessly moved by her intelligence and stopped by her fragility and forbearance. From testing each other to trusting each other in life and death, the two stood side by side in the whirlpool of power and intrigue, supporting each other on the dangerous journey. Their love grew secretly, but they also involved the choice of the righteousness of their family and country.
When those who had bullied her were lying on the ground, and when those who had despised her bowed their heads, Su Yao stood on the top of power, looking back at where she came from. What was tempered by blood and fire was not only the joy of revenge, but also the joy of revenge.
