Golden finger + unhinged and sickly + emotionally detached + extremely rational heroine
I, Xie Yi, am the daughter of the Grand Commander of the Prince of Zhenxi's residence in Great Zhou. I was raised from childhood by the Grand Empress Dowager and the Grand Commander himself.
Three years ago, the relief funds meant for the border troops were embezzled. To solve this old case, I was ordered to enter the capital as a hostage.
They all laughed at me, a sickly girl, saying that going to the capital as a hostage was tantamount to courting death.
On my first day in the capital, I cut down the Minister of Rites right in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate, openly shattering the unspoken rules of officialdom.
They think being sent to the capital as a hostage means I have no power? I, Xie Yi, am Great Zhou's foremost political debt collector.
The imperial court is my hunting ground. Powerful ministers want to use me as a weapon, while princes drag me into their power games. They all think they can control me, but they forget that I am the Grim Reaper moving the pieces.
My goal is to collect every rotten debt of this decaying dynasty, down to the last coin, with interest!
The Grand Empress Dowager gave me immunity from execution, and my father gave me military authority. I came to the capital for one thing: to collect debts, collect debts, and collect debts!
My sickly body is a blade, and the laws of Great Zhou are a cage. I hold military dispatches in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other.
Today I cut off a finger, tomorrow I confiscate an estate. Won't pay your debt?
Then pay with your life!
The officials throughout the court panicked: “Princess, please stop collecting! You can have the whole empire. Can you just wipe the debts?”
Everyone in Great Zhou wants to curry favor with me, this golden branch, yet fears me, the living King of Hell.
