The story begins with a strange court case that shocked both the government and the public. Li Yuanzhi, the eldest princess with a noble background and a heart for the world but could not help herself, met Shen Qingci, a widower who was born in the city and was extremely talented but was discriminated against because of the case. The two have very different identities, but they are attracted by each other's talent and tenacity during joint investigation time after time, and develop undue feelings under many taboos.
However, the struggle for imperial power intensified. In order to protect herself and her family, Li Yunzhi was forced to make a choice and personally pointed a forged evidence against Shen Qingci, causing him to become a prisoner, tortured and narrowly escaped death. This is the core "abuse point" of the book.
After Shen Qingci escaped by chance, his heart turned into despair, and his love for Li Yunzhi completely turned into bone-crushing hatred. She remained anonymous and relied on her unpredictable autopsy methods and meticulous scheming to make a name for herself under the hostile lord. She climbed from an unknown person to the top of power step by step, becoming a "goddess of vengeance" who could compete with Lee Yun Gee.
The plot enters the "stronger point" and "chasing the wife in the crematorium" mode. Shen Qingci, now in power, returned to the capital and launched a mad revenge on his former lover; while Li Yunzhi, who had long regretted her past and had reached the pinnacle of power but was left alone, abandoned all her dignity and tried to save the heart that was crushed by her own hands. The two fought openly and secretly in the court, and were extremely involved in love. In the end, when they uncovered the deeper conspiracy and difficulties behind the betrayal, they jointly faced the real mastermind and ushered in the ending of reunion.
