Jackdaw Returns

[Group portraits of strong women + Machiavellian tactics in ancient sayings + Soul-traveling suspense + Slow-burning duo] Dayin's famous general Gu Zhaoning died in Jackdaw Valley. Reinforcements did not arrive, military orders were changed, and confidants defected. What finally pierced her body was not the Beishuo scimitar, but a Dayin saber. When she opened her eyes again, she became Gu Qingheng, the daughter of the Gu family who had been living abroad for eighteen years. The real Gu Qingheng was also attacked on the same day. She failed to enter her father's house, leaving only half a blood-stained account page and a robbery and murder scene that was carefully forged. When Gu Zhaoning returned to the capital through her name, the whole city was welcoming his coffin. Her father accepted the conclusion that she had died in battle. Her former colleagues had their own secrets to hide, and everyone in the court hoped that the incident in Jackdaw Valley would be over. But she insisted on investigating. She wanted to find out who leaked the marching route, who forged military orders, and who blocked reinforcements; she also wanted to find out for Gu Qingheng what was hidden behind the medicinal material account book. It wasn't until the two murder cases gradually converged that she discovered that it was never just one person who killed them. Some do it for the family, some do it for the throne, some do it for military morale, and some do it for the so-called stability of the world. Everyone makes only one choice that they think is necessary. In the end, they jointly pushed those who guarded this country to death. This time, she not only wants to recover the truth for the dead people. She also had to decide whether it was Gu Zhaoning who returned from Jackdaw Valley, or Gu Qingheng who was carrying two lives and was never willing to be sacrificed again.
