A beginning sealed in blood, a revenge fueled by hate. Xie Tangzhuo, a noble daughter of the Xie family, once bloomed like a flower. Then she was imprisoned in the cold cage built for her by Regent Xiao Jue, who meant to grind down her pride and make her pay a supposedly inherited “family debt.” The ultimate humiliation and deprivation reached their peak on a bitter winter night: Xiao Jue himself branded the child they had conceived as “debt.” His icy words became the sharpest blade in the world. That night, a jade hairpin was stained with blood, the snow swallowed a baby, and a fierce woman burned her love to ash.
After five years in hiding, Xie Tangzhuo returns, reborn in blood. The daughter of the Xie family is now the “Blood Phoenix,” a female commander who has conquered lands and made the Northern court tremble. When her iron cavalry tramples the royal banners of her former homeland, the man who once tormented her with cages and blizzards is left in plain white mourning clothes, kneeling in the snow with a bone-chilling ice casket in his hands. Inside lies proof of his eternal regret and despair, for what is gone can never be reborn. A humble plea tears through the past: “General... can you... sew this child... back together?” Is this atonement? A rekindling? Or an even deeper hell? The snow burns, and blood debts are finally repaid.
