Dayong was in the 14th year of Taiping. The three aristocratic families control the court with their profound knowledge of cultivation. They are calm on the surface, but secretly they have their own agendas.
Zuixian Tower, Liuxiang, Beijing. A woman named Qingyin was born. She tore up Shoufu's post and stirred up the whole capital. Some said she didn't want her life, some said there was someone behind her. No one knows her real name - Liu Jin. Embers of ashes.
Pei Zhaotang, the eldest son of Zhenbei General Mansion, has had the same dream repeatedly for three years. In the dream, there was a woman sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree playing the pipa. He drew her countless times, never drawing her face. Until he saw Qingyin in the pavilion of Zuixian Tower.
Prince Chen Xiao Jihan, who was crowned king at the age of twenty-three, practiced the Way of Killing, and had a pair of gray eyes that could see through the deepest memories of people's hearts. He investigated an old case for ten years and owed a man his life.
The fate of the three people is quietly intertwined because of a magical weapon called "Zhenyu Bell". Behind the Zhen Yu Ling are seven ancient magic weapons, a century-old struggle between three major families, and something that has never been extinguished in the fire.
The sweet-scented osmanthus has fallen and bloomed again. Some people have been waiting for ten years, some have been painting for three years, and some have been looking for even longer. And the woman who climbed out of the ashes only asked one question——
One hundred and twenty-three lives, who will pay them back?
Intention: The seven human emotions - desire, anger, love, evil, sadness, fear, joy - are both talents and shackles. "The Record of the Ash Moon" tells the story of a woman crawling out of the ashes and living on revenge. But when revenge comes to an end, she discovers that the blood of her enemies cannot bring the dead back to life. The real relief is not to kill all the enemies, but to choose not to kill at the last moment.
