During the Yong'an period of Daliang, Shen Huaizhong, the general who protected the country, was falsely accused of treason and his entire family was executed. The infant daughter Shen Yuqi was entrusted by her grandfather to the hermit Taoist Master Yichen, who hid her in the mountains and named her Xiaoqi.
Sixteen years later, Xiao Qi grew up. She is a master of medicine and poisoning, and her martial arts skills are strictly prohibited from being exposed by her master. She is greedy and playful, lively and clever. Her greatest pleasure is to stun Liu Yan, her sixth senior brother, and sneak down the mountain in disguise to buy steamed buns.
Once she sneaked down the mountain and rescued a man covered in blood in the wild forest. The man was good-looking but spoke very little. He ate several jars of pickles from her and finally left her without saying goodbye.
Xiao Qi was so angry that she called him a "big loser" for three days, thinking that it would be best not to encounter him again in this life.
But things in the world just don't go as expected. Senior brother Du Heng was poisoned by a strange poison in the capital. Xiao Qi was ordered to go down the mountain to detoxify, but unexpectedly discovered that the "rice bucket" was actually Gu Hengzhi, the youngest son of the late emperor and the current king of Zhennan. What shocked her even more was that the massacre of the Shen family sixteen years ago was inextricably linked to him.
The real enemy, the current Prime Minister Yan Che, was currently laying a dragnet in the capital, waiting for her to come to her door.
The blood debt of one hundred and twenty-three members of the Shen family, the evidence that the master had hidden for sixteen years, Gu Hengzhi's plan at the tip of the sword in the north, the secret assistance of the six senior brothers with their own unique skills... Xiao Qi, from a little girl who only knew how to chew steamed buns, was gradually involved in the turmoil of the court and the world.
She wanted to find out the truth, reverse the case for the Shen family, and seek justice for one hundred and twenty-three lives.
Yan Che said that a yellow-haired girl cannot change the world.
Xiao Qi said, then you wait.
