In the twenty-sixth year of Zhizheng, the founding emperor of Xikui, Bai Lirui, died suddenly, and his body disappeared mysteriously.
The adopted daughter Yun Zhao was regarded as the "eldest princess of the country", with cinnabar on her eyebrows like blood, holding a black iron heavy sword, and managed to hold on in the bloody storm in the court. On the orders of the Empress Dowager, she personally hanged the right prime minister Wan Sheng, a man of great merit and fame, who she had known only as "A Zhao" since she was young. The moment Bai Ling fell, she thought she had guarded Xikui.
But she didn't know that on the river, a young man as pale as a ghost was looking in the direction of Chongwen Tower.
Who is he? What does he know? What kind of game will he play in this endgame of intrigue and blood?
When he approached Yun Zhao, he found that this "eldest princess" in white clothes and stained with dust was more complicated than he imagined.
She knew clearly that Wan Sheng was framed and killed him, she knew that the Queen Mother had a ghost but protected her young master, she knew that her "Tao" was a shackle but she refused to look back.
A dank and dark puppy, a sister who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside.
One wants revenge, the other wants to protect.
In the hot and humid summer of Xikui, they will start from a missing body and bloom in the river of blood and lies.
Intention: Love makes the proud bow their heads, makes the sand and stones grow flesh and blood, and gives courage to the timid.
