All ten daughters and nine sisters of the Shen family died.
As the youngest daughter of a general, Shen Zhao was weak and timid since she was a child. She was the most inconspicuous daughter of a boudoir in the entire capital. It wasn't until the nine coffins were carried back to the Zhenguo Palace on the same day that she raised her head in front of the mourning hall and accepted the nine jade pendants handed over by her grandmother.
Nine jade pendants, nine houses and property, nine brothers-in-law.
She wants to find out the cause of her sisters' deaths, to hold up the last lintel of the general family, and to turn the Shen family from a loyal sacrifice to a chess player in the cracks between imperial power, vassal kings, rivers and lakes, and southern Xinjiang witchcraft.
Concept: high-burning revenge, fateful redemption, nine love lines
