A person, like poetry. The world only knows Princess Jinning, Zhao Qingli, a walking portrait of a lady in the deep palace. But they do not know that she is also the only successor of the Sword God, a once-in-a-century genius of the Tang Clan. Her sword is called "Purple Lightning". When the sword is drawn, it is like a startled swan reflecting its shadow. No one in the world can withstand three of her moves. Because those who have seen the third move have all become mute dead men. Her palm is called "Soul Chaser". Her fingers are called "Wind Splitter". Chu Yueyao and Wen Yunshu are not maids, but two deadly shadows. Three women, a game in winter. The martial world is a cup of strong liquor.
