In the twenty-fourth year of Yong'an, villains poisoned and burned down the Marquis of Zhenguo's residence, killing all 327 people inside. Only the legitimate daughter, Shen Wandeng, managed to escape. After three years in hiding under an assumed name, she has fallen from a life of luxury as a marquis's daughter to an unknown doctor in the western part of the city, surviving on her family's medical knowledge with only one thought in her heart: revenge.
On a snowy, bitterly cold night, a lone lamp still burns. One by one, she finds allies: Lu Cixian, a physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, reveals the truth behind her grandfather's final command; Xie Heng, Prince of Jingbei, offers the protection of his cavalry and his wholehearted support; young Prince Xiao Che gives her his sincere devotion; and Su Lingyu, a concubine-born daughter of the Su family, turns against her own kin for the sake of justice. The five form an alliance and proceed step by step, weaving an inescapable net in the face of despair.
They seize documents from the secret archives, uncover a strange poison in the Eastern Palace, and retrieve account books from the burning Su residence. After a heart-stopping game of wits, the truth is finally laid bare before the world. The Empress's relatives are brought to justice, the Shen family's name is cleared, and the young woman who spent three years walking alone through the cold night finally finds someone to light the way home.
A realm as her bride price, cavalry as the wedding gift. At the end of the long night, Wandeng's light finally guides her beloved home.
This is a story of endurance, revenge, and redemption: a blood feud is avenged, and they spend the rest of their lives together beneath warm lamplight.
