In the 17th year of Yong'an in Daliang, there was a heavy snowfall in Chang'an.
Shen Zhaoxue knelt in front of the palace gate in her wedding clothes and waited all night, but Prince Xiao Heng did not come. What she was waiting for was the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, the imprisonment of her father and brother, the overthrow of her whole family, and the imperial edict to banish her to Yeting.
From that day on, there was no longer a legitimate daughter of the Shen family in Chang'an City, only Xie Changning, a sin slave.
Five years later, she returned to Chang'an. The young man who once promised her, "I will come and marry you when the snow in Chang'an is over" has become an emperor sitting high in the hall; the old cases of the Shen family that were buried back then are gradually revealed in the undercurrents of the palace and the court.
She originally wanted to ask for an explanation, but later she realized that an explanation could not save the souls of the Shen family, nor could it clear away the grievances of her father and brother.
So she went deep into the palace, got close to the powerful officials, used secret guards to lure the enemy country, and used herself as a chess player to set up the game step by step.
Xiao Heng said: "Zhaoxue, I have never thought of betraying you."
But she just smiled: "But you have already failed."
The snow in Chang'an is gone, and old friends will never meet again.
In this life, she doesn't want the king's heart, she doesn't ask for a return, she just wants the Shen family to be innocent, and she wants those who betrayed her, bullied her, and harmed her to pay with their blood.
