Is there someone in this world who can be a light in your lonely life?
There is.
But only later do you realize that all the painful beginnings stemmed from this light. And still, this light continues to shine on you.
After her entire clan is wiped out and she is rescued, Chan Wu returns to Yingdu after leaving the mountains where she had cultivated the Dao, determined to take revenge.
But she discovers that her childhood friend has become the queen of Chu. As the two investigate a series of royal murder cases together, their relationship deepens, and the feelings they've buried gradually come to light. After countless twists and turns, they finally get together. Just when Chan Wu thinks her life is complete, an even deeper truth bares its fangs...
At heart, this is a melodramatic story. Chan Wu is the gong, while Jing Rong is the cold on the outside, scheming, and calculating shou, more or less.
Theme: Learning to make peace with yourself
This is not a happy situation. I feel so angry that I must chop this queen into pieces.
