Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household, has been frail and sickly since childhood. Everyone thinks she's a delicate flower anyone could snap at will.
But no one knows that she is the leader of the White Butterfly, a name that strikes fear into the jianghu.
Her father commits treason, dotes on his concubine, and mistreats his wife, ultimately causing Shen Qingci's mother's death.
The Marquis's household is surrounded by wolves and riddled with schemes, rotten to the core.
The struggle for the throne churns beneath the surface, while foreign powers watch like tigers poised to pounce.
Miaojiang sorcery, Western mechanisms, Northern Border cavalry, jianghu assassins, and the schemes of the accounting clerks weave together into a web.
Mechanical butterflies conceal deadly intent; each turn of a gear could mean life or death.
Six factions of powerful figures, each with their own agenda, gather under one roof.
A legitimate son of a general's household, beautiful enough to be mistaken for a woman, and the master of Wangjiang Tower arrive bearing the weight of fate.
Eight people stand side by side, heading to Star-Picking Tower for a world-shaking confrontation.
The Six Doors investigate, the Imperial Guards surround the city, and the game for all under heaven makes its opening move here.
When she tears away her mask of frailty, one sword stirs up a storm in the mortal world:
She kills traitors, avenges her mother, foils enemy schemes, and sets the world to rights.
Everyone has eight hundred tricks up their sleeve, and the Marquis's household is a den of spies.
From now on, she will be the one moving the pieces in this game for all under heaven.
