When Xiao Yi was ten years old, his mother, concubine, and sister died in the cold palace. The cause of death is unknown. In the next 20 years, finding out the truth became his only obsession.
After returning from the northern expedition, in order to find a breakthrough in the court, he deliberately approached and won over the Shen family, which had a deep foundation. Soon after, the Shen family was in danger, and Shen Zhiyi chose to cooperate with this person with "ulterior motives." They began to use each other, but gradually fell in love, but the stakes were too high and no one dared to surpass them.
Until a new case threatens the entire Shen family and accidentally involves clues to his mother and sister's old case. In order to find out the truth, the two pretended to be a couple, but their whereabouts were exposed and they were forced into a desperate situation.
The door panel was about to break, Xiao Yi escorted Shen Zhiyi into the corner, wrapped her tightly in his robe, and stuffed the short blade into her palm. He leaned closer and said in a hoarse voice: "In my life, I have watched my loved ones die in vain. The way of heaven is so stupid that it allows those who wield power to sit on the throne." The pain and hatred accumulated in his eyes for twenty years turned into determination, "Now you are the only one left in me. Know your intention and hold on to the evidence to live. The day is coming."
Shen Zhiyi held him with her backhand, her tears were still wet but her eyes were clear: "Someone deceives the sky, so someone should build a monument for the dead and hold fire for the wronged." She looked directly at him, "I will go out with the evidence, and I want to stay with you for a long time."
The door exploded, and Xiao Yi raised his sword to face the murderous intention.
Shen Zhiyi leaned against the cold wall, holding the short blade tightly amid the sounds of fighting.
The long night must end
It will be bright.
Intention: I am kind in my heart, and even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets.
