Seven years ago, it was reported that General Shen had colluded with Mobei. The loyal general Shen family was torn apart and withdrew from the court.
Seven years later, Shen Huanian was buried in a sea of fire at Qingshan Temple, but the suspicious case was hastily revealed. After Yu Huaijin returned to Beijing, he wanted to avenge his aunt and vindicate his mother.
The military grain embezzlement case of that year was like a fuse, detonating the deep whirlpool in the capital. On the way to investigate the case, he bumped into Yan Heng, the eldest son of Prince Jingyuan.
Everyone in the capital knew that the high-spirited and romantic Prince Yan had not inherited even half of General Yan's grace, and was nothing but a vase of gold and jade. But those cynical peach blossoms were secretly plotting the conspiracy behind the capital. When she was in a deadlock, she sent a secret letter with a smile: "Miss Yu's play is more exciting than the famous actors in the theater. How about... Bringing me one of my sons?"
Due to a strange combination of circumstances, the two had to work together to investigate the case and follow the clues, only to discover that there is a case within the case and a game within the game. Horse grass, water transportation, salt introduction... Every clue points to a huge network of interests. From local officials to important ministers, countless people were tied to this greedy chariot, sucking the fat and oil of the people.
There was a flood in Suzhou, and hundreds of thousands of relief grains disappeared, and people died of hunger everywhere; in the Guanzhou border, the armor was as brittle as tissue paper, and the soldiers lost their lives in vain...
When the last fig leaf was torn off, they faced a darkness that could overthrow the entire dynasty. This time, for revenge and for the sake of dawn, she vowed to open a new path in this decadent world and see Qingyun again.
Purpose: Revenge is not to change the past, but to reshape the future.
