She goes straight for his hidden weakness and brings him to heel.
Her grandmother is outrageously biased?
She keeps her mouth shut and pretends to be mute, scaring her half to death with an elaborate act.
Her second uncle is insatiably greedy?
Wonderful! He’s a walking money tree!
The young lady keeps her own ledger and has a different way of tying up each monkey. She hunts down the whole city, and no one gets away.
She insists on holding the crumbling household together by herself, investigating her father’s case and tearing apart the conspiracy!
Her gentleness is ground to dust; her innocence is gone.
She will open her father’s coffin and cut open his belly!

She tramples every rule of etiquette and propriety, tearing into every monster and demon with her own hands.
She announces to the whole city the forbidden truths no one else dares touch!
She laughs and plays games with the terrifying powers no one else dares provoke.
As the secrets of those around her are gradually exposed, digging deeper and deeper reveals that even her once-great father hid a lifetime of secrets and darkness...
No one in this world gets to define how she lives. In her darkest hour, she will carve out a bloody path to fame!
At first, all she wanted was to solve her father’s case, give peace to the innocent dead, and settle every score.
But when she tramples the darkness,
she discovers
that she has long been the only light in many people’s lives!
