Hidden in the secret compartment of the makeup box is a blood-stained "History of Zhao", which is Shen Qingwu's talisman - "In the sixth year of Yonghe's reign, the Empress Shen became jealous, was thrown into the cold palace, and died in depression."
On the third anniversary of their wedding, Emperor Xiao Yan inserted the Mulan hairpin into her hair with his own hands. His fingertips were as gentle as a trick: "Qingwu, I will never let you down in this life."
But history books never lie. On the seventh day of March, the White Deer from the South arrived as scheduled; in mid-May, the Queen Mother suffered from a headache, and as expected she asked Lin Wan'er, who had not yet entered the palace, for a massage.
Shen Qingwu looked at his pale self in the mirror and suddenly smiled. She burned her love, used the phoenix seal as a military talisman, and turned the harem into a battlefield.
She rescued prisoners on death row as a secret agent, gained business power by acquainting poor people, built a salt farm to monopolize financial resources, and ran a newspaper to control public opinion. When Lin Wan'er became pregnant with a dragon according to the "plot" and the court was abuzz with requests for an heir, Shen Qingwu kowtowed in front of everyone in the court: "I beg your concubine to resign. May Your Majesty and Sister Lin grow old together."
She disappeared into the fog of the East China Sea with eighteen ships of gold and silver, three hundred dead men, and praise from the entire court.
Five years later, there was civil strife in Daliang, and Xiao Yan was besieged and desperate. Suddenly he saw a silver-armored fleet approaching from the sea. The leading female general took off her mask. It was Shen Qingwu who he thought had "died of illness" long ago.
"Your Majesty," her voice was as cold as ice, "history books can lie, but I, Shen Qingwu, never accept my fate."
Above the East China Sea, the lighthouse of Pearl City is shining brightly. It is the path to new life that she illuminates for herself and for the women of the world.
