Chang'an Through the Long Night

On the night the entire Grand Tutor's household was sentenced to execution, Shen Zhaoning crawled out from beneath a pile of corpses and swore to make her enemies pay in blood. Under the assumed name A Ying, an embroiderer, she slipped into the capital, weaving a net stitch by stitch and laying her plans one step at a time. Xiao Yan, heir to the Prince of Zhenbei, was the greatest wildcard in her game. He said he would help clear her name, while she calculated whether she could trust him. Chang'an lay at the end of the long night, but every step on the road there fell on the edge of a blade.
