For sixteen years, Shen Ci lived under someone else's roof, an illegitimate outsider despised by everyone in the Jiang household.
Her wicked grandmother forced her to marry a womanizing wastrel. Her scumbag father and stepfather watched coldly, while her own mother spoke harshly to her.
Only after she was beaten half to death did she learn the truth: the entire Shen family of the capital had been convicted and imprisoned. The old lady just wanted to marry her off to anyone, so she could wash her hands of the trouble.
To protect her mother and the entire Shen clan, Shen Ci resolves to go to the capital and put herself in the middle of the game.
Everyone laughs at the docile, easy-to-bully cousin from Jiangnan. Only the gentle and refined nobleman Yu Feibai, a true gentleman, flies into a rage on her behalf and stands between her and the blades of the entire capital.
One day, the young woman will ride alone into the imperial court and hurl the evidence from the old case onto the emperor's throne!!!
“This world holds not only great and prestigious families, but also countless common people driven to desperation, poor scholars who study by lamplight, and the dead who have yet to be vindicated!”
“Even a tiny spark can set half the capital ablaze!!!”
