In the 23rd year of Yong'an in Liang Dynasty, all the members of the Zhenguo Palace were convicted. His legitimate daughter Shen Zhaoning was reduced to the daughter of the guilty minister and was used as a maid by her uncle's family. Three years later, Xiao Yan, the powerful regent, fished her out of the mire and said he would marry her as his concubine. Everyone in the capital said that she had climbed a high tree, but only Shen Zhaoning knew that the resolute and decisive regent looked at her with deep-seated hatred.
He married her just to keep her in a deep house and torture her every day.
On their wedding night, Xiao Yan threw a dagger to her: "Shen Zhaoning, your father killed my mother and concubine, and I want you to pay with your blood."
Shen Zhaoning held the cold dagger, raised his head and looked directly into his eyes: "Your Majesty, my father did not harm anyone, you were deceived."
She thought he was going to kill her. But he just gently wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Then prove it to me. Use your life to bet that the Shen family is innocent."
When the truth was revealed layer by layer, the enemy who tormented her day and night was actually Bai Yueguang, whom she had never forgotten.
And what she holds in her hands is a secret that can subvert the entire dynasty.
