"The night my head was chopped off, I didn't die - just in time, let me be a ghost."
She was Pei Lingyi, the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs at that time. She was supposed to get married in a grand manner, but she was framed by her fiancé Li Yanzhi. Her father was poisoned, her younger siblings were taken into the church, and she was beheaded in public, and her head was hung at the city gate for three days.
But on a rainy night at the mass grave, she actually opened her eyes among the corpses.
General Xiao Xing risked his life to collect the body, but found that her fingertips were still warm.
"I'm not dead." Her white clothes were stained with blood, and her eyes were burning with ghosts. "From tonight onwards, the female ghosts of the Pei family are asking for their lives."
She faked her death and entered Li's house disguised as a ghost——
The red candle spontaneously ignited into the character "Pei", the account books showed secret messages of collaboration with the enemy at night, and the eldest princess was frightened away by the cry of her bride...
The capital was shaken, and the officials were furious, but little did they know that in the hands of this "female ghost" was the late emperor's edict, Qingzhou Yanyin, and the fatal account book entrusted to her father on his deathbed.
And Xiao Xing, the iron-blooded general who had his military power reduced and was imprisoned on death row, silently paved the way for her:
"You act like a ghost, and I will protect you. If you ask for your life, I will hand you the knife."
A revenge game involving people in the name of a "ghost" unfolds in a bloody storm.
What she wants is not the death of an innocent soul;
Instead, let the law rectify the name of the loyal and righteous, and let the powerful and traitors kneel and turn into ashes.
——The return of the female ghost to the sun is not a legend, but a reckoning.
