The heavy snow burned the house, and the trees were hidden in the cracks in the rocks.
In the seventeenth year of Tianyou's reign, a shocking disaster occurred. Chu Yunqing, the Duke of the town, was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and his whole family was overturned. Only the legitimate daughter, Chu Hongliu, was lucky enough to survive the sea of fire. She remained anonymous under the pseudonym Liuli and stayed dormant in the world for ten years with the doctor Kong Dayou.
She was infected with cold poison, and she held an intelligence network called "Baixu" in her hand, which suppressed the blood feud into her bones and blood. With an order to enter the capital, she returned to the turbulent capital as a medical girl and stepped into the chess game that swallowed up her entire family.
The Jiangling corruption case has revealed a dark corner, and old traces of harem secrets, reselling of military rations, and the defeat of Northern Xinjiang have surfaced layer by layer. Wang Yan, Pei Yan, Qin Shuo... The enemies who framed Zhongliang back then were high in the temple, holding power and setting up defenses at every step. Liuli makes every move like a chess piece, borrowing files and witnesses, using her wits to dismantle the enemy's traps, and leveraging old cases to shake up the foundation of the court.
The tip of the knife wanders between life and death, and the journey of revenge is costly. She is both a chess player and a pawn in the game. In the blood and truth, while tracing the evidence of crimes ten years ago, she confronts the pain in her heart and recognizes herself amidst fear and longing.
At the celebration banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the evidence was presented to the public, and the injustice was finally settled. The great revenge was avenged, but she refused the honor given by the court.
After ten years of sharpening a sword, what she wanted was never power, but to restore the innocence of the deceased. After washing away her grudges, Liuli turned away from Beijing and returned to her own world. The wisteria flowers are blooming, the old friend is well, and this game of chess has finally come to fruition.
Mission: The truth is more important than winning or losing, justice is more important than lust for power
