[No transmigration | No rebirth | No System | Pure historical fiction | Female-led | Comeback | Face-slapping]

💡A friendly heads-up | The story moves from rural family intrigue to palace intrigue, then to court politics, ascending the throne, and finally a mysterious organization that has existed for a thousand years. It is full of passion, warmth, scheming, and struggles to the death, and explores family bonds, friendship, and love. Though fate may be at work, it also bears witness to growth. The early story has plenty of hardship and push-and-pull, so it may start slowly. If you dislike slow burns, proceed with caution. |

A filthy woodshed. Rumors clinging to her.

Zhen Miao once thought that living meant enduring each day in silence and protecting her own little corner of the world.

Then disaster struck. As she tried to protect those around her, a cinnabar mark appeared between her brows, and the power of the Saintess, dormant for a thousand years, finally awakened.

The world rejoiced at the Saintess's arrival, saying she must sacrifice herself to save the people from a chaotic age.

But no one told her:

The emperor did not want a savior. He wanted a tool that could be imprisoned and sacrificed.

A woman amid the flames, a forbidden decree no one dared mention, and deadly threats closing in at every turn...

Some wanted her dead, others wanted to exploit her while she lived, and everyone wanted to decide her fate for her.

Zhen Miao stood quietly amid the mortal world and said, word by word:

“I will not be a sacrifice or a pawn, and I certainly will not obediently give myself up to end this chaos.”

“If fate demands my sacrifice, then I will change this world instead.”

As the Four Symbols gradually emerge, who is the one truly moving the pieces?

And what kind of storm will the secret hidden in that cinnabar mole stir up?
