The One on the Highest Branch: All the Capital's Top Power Brokers Bow to Her

When winter arrived in Kyoto and the first snow fell, the national treasure Snowy Skies and Returning Geese, missing for thirty years, came home from overseas.

It was escorted by a special operations unit. Standing before it was a twenty-four-year-old woman, the youngest restorer at the Capital Cultural Relics Bureau. People in the field called her "Mr. Xie." Her eyes were more precise than any instrument, and the moment her fingertips touched an antique, she could "see" the secrets it had kept hidden for fifteen years.

No one knew she had come to the capital not to restore a painting.

She had come to settle a score from fifteen years ago.

The painting held the name of her father, Xie Qingwu. It held a truth that the most powerful men in the country wanted buried. And it held four men, each of whom had slowly lowered his head from his lofty perch for her...

Fu Jichen treated her as a "rare tool" to be used, but in the end, he learned to wait.

Lu Shiyan pursued her as the hardest "genuine article" to buy, but in the end, he locked away every fake in his house.

Jin Sinan was ordered to keep an eye on her, but in the end, he turned himself into her shadow.

Gu Xingzhou had spent fifteen years searching for the woman sitting right in front of him, and he failed to recognize her.

All of Kyoto waited to see how this young restorer would climb to the top.

Only later did they realize...

She was not the one climbing to the top.

The men at the top were the ones bowing their heads for her.
