The day I died, countless wronged souls in the deep well wailed for me.
When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn on the day I’d been pushed into the well, and unexpectedly gained a pair of Yin-Yang Eyes that could see into the netherworld. From then on, I saw the deepest secrets of the Tang palace: beneath its splendid halls lurked restless ghosts and evil spirits devouring people’s fortune.
Starting out as a laundry maid everyone could trample on, I used ghosts as my ears and my eyes as a blade. The resentful spirits of the cold palace became my spies; the ghosts of the unjustly dead became my informants. I saw through a favored concubine’s use of dark magic to win affection and uncovered a powerful minister’s use of a ghostly formation to seize the throne.
Everyone laughed at me for being lowborn, never knowing that the ghosts of the people they had killed had already told me their greatest secrets.
Then I met the Seventh Prince, Li Yan, a man everyone avoided. I alone could see the warm golden light radiating from him. He was the only light in this filthy palace.
“Don’t be afraid. I believe you can see ghosts.”
Later, on the night of the palace coup, ghosts ran wild. I stood atop the Taiji Palace and opened my Yin-Yang Eyes.
This time, I would send the people who pushed me into hell straight into the true depths of the netherworld with my own hands. And the darkness I once glimpsed would ultimately grovel at my feet and call me its Queen of the Netherworld.
