Ye Rong lived as a man for twenty years and rose to become the Left Chancellor, protecting the realm with an iron fist and a shrewd mind. When the new emperor ascends the throne and purges the old ministers, she lets down her long hair before the court and confesses to three grave crimes: deceiving the emperor, meddling in state affairs, and ruining the life of his birth mother. As the court is thrown into turmoil, she must uncover truths buried in the past: her father’s wrongful conviction, Consort Jing’s death, and a lifetime of tangled grievances with the imperial family. This is the story of a woman who fights her way through a man’s world and, in the end, uses her long hair as a blade to pierce through the court’s corruption.
