The Calamity Star Returns

Le Yang’s birth was marked by strange celestial phenomena, and she was branded a “harbinger of disaster.” At the age of three, her master secretly took her away. Fifteen years later, armed with modern forensic knowledge as her golden finger, she learns that her maternal family has been falsely accused of treason and sentenced to death. To save them, she returns to the capital as the “harbinger of disaster” and joins forces with Zhuyuan, the disgraced son of the late emperor. As they face conspiracies at court and dangers in the martial world, they must build on the foundation her master laid over many years, uncover the truth, and clear her family’s name. Yet Le Yang’s identity as the “harbinger of disaster” and Zhuyuan’s royal bloodline are deadly secrets. If exposed, they could cost them their lives. To make matters worse, Liu Ruyan, the daughter of a powerful minister, is in love with Zhuyuan and opposes Le Yang at every turn, even fabricating evidence to frame her. With only seven days, Le Yang must find the crucial evidence that will clear her family while facing gender prejudice and the rules of the court. She must choose between love and justice, and ultimately achieve redemption and personal growth.
