Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, experienced the collapse of her whole family overnight.
The wealthy family was stained with blood, and the house was burned with flames. The former high-ranking family was accused of treason, and she was the only one left in such a big mansion to survive among the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.
During the years of living on the border, she had tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world. She thought that meeting Lu Heng, a retired good general, would be a ray of light at the end of the sea of suffering. Her adoptive father was very kind to her, taught her martial arts and medical skills, and gave her a safe place to live. Day and night for several years, she put away the hatred in her heart and was willing to be an ordinary apprentice in a border town. She just wanted peace in the years and safety for her family.
But the suspicion of the imperial power followed closely, and disasters fell from the sky again.
The cavalry trampled through the town, and the fire burned down the house. Once again, she watched helplessly as all her relatives died under the emperor's power.
The family was wiped out twice, and the kindness was reduced to ashes.
The remaining tenderness was completely crushed, and the girl cut off her seven emotions. She no longer believed in the justice of the world, or the benevolent mask of the superior.
Starting from a border town, she entered troubled times with a blood feud. The prefectures and counties are circling around, the capital is competing at every step, and the court is in an unpredictable place. The family is hypocritical, the prince is greedy, the emperor is ruthless, and all living beings in the world are trapped in the quagmire of power and gain.
She does not rely on the pity of nobles, does not hope for luck from heaven, uses wisdom as her blade and forbearance as her armor, stirs up the chaos between the government and the public, and uncovers bloody old cases.
When she arrived at the Jinluan Palace, she killed the supreme emperor with her own hands and overthrew the decadent dynasty.
Piles of white bones make steps, and embers of fire refine the bones of the phoenix.
She took the justice that the world owed her with her own hands; she rewrote the rotten world.
Purpose: Using the blood and tears of an orphan girl who had her family wiped out twice, to expose the autocratic imperial power's disregard for human life, to write about the brokenness and rebirth of human nature in suffering, to explain the boundaries of revenge, and the responsibilities of those in power to the common people.
