During the Great Qi Dynasty, the imperial power declined, aristocratic families monopolized water transportation, finance and taxation, vassal kings were divided in all directions, and undercurrents surged in the rivers and lakes. It seemed like a peaceful and prosperous age, but it has long been decayed.
Shen Weimian was burdened with a family blood feud and the injustice of his father's false accusation. With his humble identity of having a deformed left hand and stuttering and photophobia, he lurked in Taichang Temple, allowing others to despise and trample on him.
No one knew that beneath this frail body was flowing the supreme royal blood of a single line of Lingyan Pavilion - the blood of the founder of the country and the ancestor of the Royal Shadow Guard. Once awakened, she is the sharpest knife in the world, able to command the Lingyan Pavilion's 100,000 secret guards and control the lifeline of the government and the public!
She worked step by step to stir up the chaos in the court and check the power of the world as a female figure. She wants to tear open the dynasty's festering dynasty from the shady secrets of water transportation. She not only wants to find out the real culprit of the family's destruction, but also wants to find the late emperor's edict and reshape the order of the world.
Lu Chizhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, wields power in both the government and the public, and fights corruption with an iron face. From being a powerful ally to being a devoted ally, he is willing to inflict public anger and rule the court for her;
She does not love power and does not rely on others. She supports the temple and the rivers and lakes by herself. She holds the power to change the clouds and rain. She sees the warmth and coldness of the world and takes pleasure in grudges and grudges.
And the three men who once stood at the top of power were willing to bow their heads, fight for her, and spend everything they had, just hoping that she would look back at her once.
In this game, she uses the world as her chess and love and hate as her pawn. She not only avenges the bloodshed, but also wants to enjoy the prosperity and joy of this prosperous age.
