Chu Sui studied medicine with her master in Qingling Mountain since she was a child. She has been hiding in the mountains and forests all year round and rarely sets foot in the secular world of the court.
Once when she went down the mountain to practice medicine, she rescued a blind woman. The two cherished each other and formed a good relationship.
When she returned home, what greeted her was the tragic situation of her entire family being executed, and the former mansion was reduced to a Shura field.
In order to protect her from the blind woman who had been saved by her, the master took away her clothes to repay her kindness, took the initiative to divert the pursuers, and died for her.
Only then did Chu Sui know that the woman was the current Princess Yongning.
There is no more Chu Sui, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, in the world.
She concealed her real name and returned to Yanjing as Princess Yongning.
She vowed to find out the culprit behind the scenes, seek justice for her parents, master, and Princess Yongning who sacrificed her life, and make the evildoers pay with their lives!
We will never give up until blood revenge is avenged!

The undercurrents in the Yanjing court were turbulent, powerful officials from various factions were at odds with each other, and disasters occurred one after another.
Pei Huaijin, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has been secretly investigating old cases from a few years ago and has found many clues, all pointing to the Chu family's injustice.
This "Princess Yongning" with a calm temperament and decisive actions came into his sight and became his biggest suspicion.
He glimpsed her resourcefulness and forbearance hidden under the skin of the princess, threw out the bargaining chip of interests, and offered to form an alliance with her.
But things are unpredictable. Before Pei Huaijin could find the flaw in her identity, she turned him into a sharp blade for her revenge.
At first, the two just took what they needed.
She used his power and intelligence network to clear away layers of fog; he used her identity as a princess to leverage the intricate forces of the court.
In the process of jointly investigating the case, Pei Huaijin slowly became emotional and accompanied her to pursue the evidence. Seeing that the truth was getting closer and closer, he also got a glimpse of the blood feud she carried step by step.
