The Yin family had a daughter who was born with pupils as bright as gold, and was said to be unlucky by her family members. When she was five years old, the entire clan was infected with an epidemic, and the clan leader ordered her to be sunk into a pond to "sacrifice ghosts." There are four words engraved on the tablet - the witch Yin family.
Twelve years later, the results were released in the spring of the Dayan Dynasty. The moment the new top scholar took off his gauze hat, the whole city was silent - those golden eyes were flashing with broken light, exactly like the "witch" in Shentang back then. She entered the official position as a man, and within three months she was promoted from a low-ranking official to a close minister of the imperial court. The cases she solved pointed to those who decided to imprison her back then.
The commander of Jinyiwei, Shen Du, was ordered to monitor this "suspicious new minister". On a rainy night, she squatted under the bridge to feed the wild cats while he handed her an umbrella. She looked up, her golden eyes reflecting the thunder, and he said, "Your eyes are beautiful." That was the first time she heard this sentence in seventeen years. He had known that she was a woman, but he never revealed it - because revealing it meant that he had to personally send her to the guillotine.
Until the Prime Minister pointed at her eyes and said, "You are the ghost of the Yin family." She took off her mask in front of everyone and said, "Ghosts can't breathe. Sir, why don't you try my pulse?" The whole court was in an uproar. And the thirty-six pieces of evidence in her hand were enough to turn half the court upside down.
She said she didn't come back for revenge, she just wanted to ask: What did that five-year-old child do wrong?
