Ten years ago, a "tea exchange case" led to the death of tea ceremony master Gu Yue unjustly, and the county magistrate Li Qi died with hatred. Ten years later, his daughter Hu Mingshan hid in Mingxiuzhuang under a pseudonym, and her son Li Yuan went to serve as the magistrate of Chong'an County. The fate of his daughter Huang Yishang, the master of the twenty-five tea ceremony, was intertwined.
When the tea samples given by the royal family are surprisingly poisonous, the anonymous letter reveals the scars of the old case. Under the peaceful tea mountain, conspiracy, espionage, blood feud and inheritance collide fiercely. An incense cup that can detect authenticity, a double-sided seal with hidden secrets, and a tea ceremony information network covering both the government and the public... After becoming old friends, can we distinguish between friends and foes in the smoke of tea and the light of swords, clear the wrongs, and protect the roots and conscience of the thousands of miles of tea ceremony?
A cup of tea, ten years of blood. The truth lies in the next brew.
