[Blurb below]

In the thirty-fifth year of Yuansheng, Ming Yueji, the renowned legitimate daughter of the Ming family, was imprisoned after being discovered participating in the royal succession struggle. The heaven-blessed young woman fell from grace overnight. Ming Yueji was sentenced to execution in three months, and the entire Ming family was implicated and exiled to the southwest.

That July, a small sedan with blue cloth curtains traveled north from the eastern gate of Xianjing, only to vanish from the royal family's watchful eyes.

In the end, the notorious case of the young lord's faction, which had caused such an uproar that year, was destined to sink into the pages of history.

Later, the pearl was clouded with dust. She weathered the winds and moonlight, endured frost and snow, and traveled to the ends of the earth in search of justice, only to discover that justice did not exist.

Later, when someone pointed a sword at the dust-covered pearl's throat, she remained calm, letting the red thread cut into her neck, just to prove: "I was never her to begin with."

Later, an old acquaintance asked her, "The world is vast. How can a frail woman like you, adrift like duckweed, possibly shake it?"

Seated high above, the dust-covered pearl looked down upon the world. "If I use that as an excuse to bind myself and shoulder the burden alone, then no matter what I do, I cannot shake the world. But if I am the beginning, and countless others like me work toward this in the future, what is there to fear? How could we fail to shake the world?"
